This pest might wipe citrus out worldwide…

#CPDPPPartner PSA: This pest is putting all of the world’s citrus at risk! The Asian citrus psyllid is known to spread a fatal citrus disease called Huanglongbing, HLB or “citrus greening disease”, and as of 2021 it was responsible for a 78% loss of Florida’s citrus crop. What’s worse is the pest has already been sighted throughout California, and the disease it spreads, HLB, has NO CURE. It’s crucial to know what steps to take to prevent the spread of HLB, so I partnered with California’s Citrus Pest and Disease Prevention Program to share some key tips and to steer you in the right direction to learn more about what you can do: https://californiacitrusthreat.org/

  1. Wow Florida who wouldn’t figure lmao bringing whatever they can though to make money bad or good so ya makes sense half the bad shit comes from the coast’s

  2. Can't we just cut off branches that insect fed on before the disease spreads through the whole tree?

  3. dawg. them Asians just developing All sorts of biochemical weapons. thought them Russians had some shit? man them spoon-down-the-stairs name havin mfs will show you some SHIT!!

  4. This actually happened to bananas a few decades back, a fungus wiped out every species we grew for farming and in order to have bananas again they had to create a new species of banana (GMO) that is resistant to the fungus.

  5. Great video! I actually do this for a living. As part of my job, I have to go out and inspect nurseries and their greenhouses for presence of ACP and HLB. Thankfully, so far it hasn't been an issue in NorCal. SoCal on the other hand is in a tough spot and its only getting worse.

  6. If you're talking about a bad/unwanted event, don't say it happens "thanks to" someone/something. Please say it's "because of".

  7. Gosh that’s not good for my US gardening friends! I hope you can get on top of it.
