Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential methods of controlling redgum lerp psyllid (RLP). States that it is "a major ornamental pest of eucalyptus in California. RLP heavily infests redgum eucalyptus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis...RLP has been implicated in serious outbreaks in native vegetation in Australia. It has been known to feed on a localized population of the redgum eucalyptus, as well as E. dealbata, E. tereticornis, E. blakelyi, E. bridgesiana, and E. nitens." Describes the life cycle of RLP, stating that "development time from egg to adult varies from several weeks to several months during prolonged cool temperatures. In mild coastal areas, all stages can be present throughout the year." Also discusses potential cultural and chemical control methods. Suggests minimizing "tree stress by providing eucalyptus with proper cultural care and protecting trees from injury." States that "foliar sprays generally are not recommended, and will most likely not be cost-effective." |
