Citrus is one of the most popular fruit crops worldwide, with a significant economic value. Citrus fruits are not only consumed fresh, but they are also used in many processed products such as juices, jams, marmalades, and essential oils. However, the production of citrus fruits is threatened by various pests that can cause significant damage to the crops. Citrus pests include insects, mites, nematodes, and diseases that attack different parts of the citrus tree, such as the leaves, fruits, and roots.
Insects are the most common citrus pests, and they can cause severe damage to the fruit, foliage, and twigs. The most common insects that infest citrus trees include the Asian citrus psyllid, citrus rust mite, citrus leafminer, and citrus thrips. These insects cause damage by feeding on the leaves and fruits, leading to defoliation, reduced fruit yield, and poor fruit quality.
Diseases are also significant citrus pests, and they can cause severe damage to citrus trees. The most common citrus diseases include citrus greening, citrus canker, and Phytophthora root rot. These diseases can cause stunted growth, leaf drop, poor fruit quality, and death of the citrus tree.
