- Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, transmits pathogenic bacteria that cause the citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing). To examine an effective method to reduce the orientation of D. citri adults, the effect of a UV-absorbing film was compared with that of a normal film in the laboratory. The number of adults oriented under the UV-absorbing film was significantly fewer than those under the normal film. The UV-absorbing film is could be used as a physical pest control material against Diaphorina citri.
