Brazil's Fundecitrus publishes new psyllid resistance results

Fundecitrus has issued the 25th update of its Avalia Psilídeo monitoring system, expanding available data for Brazil’s citrus growers.

The latest release adds information from four psyllid populations collected in the São Paulo regions of Avaré, São José do Rio Preto and Bebedouro.

The platform evaluates how different insecticides perform against the psyllid — the insect responsible for spreading citrus greening — helping growers adjust control strategies in the field.

With the new entries, the tool now compiles results from 121 insect populations gathered across the citrus belt in São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul, strengthening the database used to track resistance and treatment effectiveness.

The data is available through Fundecitrus’ technology portal, where users can access trial results and compare performance across regions.
