Description
Deived de Carvalho and co-authors test, in a 2026 field study, whether the rootstock under a citrus tree changes its risk from the insect that spreads huanglongbing, the devastating citrus greening disease. Tree vigor comes mostly from the rootstock, and the Asian citrus psyllid feeds and breeds on fresh leaf flushes.
Sweet orange trees were grafted onto a vigorous mandarin rootstock or a dwarfing trifoliate one in a young orchard. Vigorous trees grew bigger canopies with longer, more plentiful flushes, and drew more psyllids for longer. Dwarfed trees flushed half as long, hosted fewer insects, and sickened more slowly. Rootstock choice joins the grower's defense plan.
