Fig 1. Citrus production in Indonesia (FAO Statistical Databases for Agriculture: http://apps.fao.org). CITRUS PRODUCTION CONSTRAINS -Pests : many -Diseases : the most important is CVPD (Citrus Vein Phloem Degeneration) or Citrus Greening of Huanglongbing - Social Political Issue
PENYEBARAN CVPD (HUANGLONGBING / GREENING) CITRUS PRODUCTION CONSTRAINS CVPD is caused by candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, transmitted throuh psyllid vector, Diaphorina citri and through vegetative propagation

Citrus Pests Fruit Fly Leaf Minner Citrus Aphids Citrus Disease Management -Eradication of infected plants -Planting disease free seedlings -Intercropping with other plants for suppressing insect vector population (with guava for controlling CVPD through D. citri suppression -Monitoring disease occurrence regularly with early detection techniques -Pesticide Spray only when needed, Mineral Oil Spray is recommended -Maintaining Healthy Trees by well cultivation (organic fertilizers and maintaining natural enemies of pests are recommended)
