The battle to save the California's Central Valley's citrus industry from the Greening's disease-carrying Asian citrus psyllids is now coming to the central valley's home owner. Starting early next month, the fight will be taken to the yards of homes across Tulare County, along with parts of Fresno counties. That's when the California Department of Food and Agriculture will begin sending a group of 15 technicians to knock on doors of homes to ask if citrus is grown on their property. Technicians will go into yards with orange, lemon and other kinds of citrus trees to see if any have psyllids swarming around them, or if the trees are showing signs of huanglongbing (HLB) — a bacteria the insects can carry and spread from one citrus tree to another. The high-risk surveys, that the state agency has been doing in Southern California since 2012, after the first and so far only HLB infected citrus tree was found in a Rancho Cucamonga neighborhood, will now also be carried out in the Central Valley of California. - Millet
