Population fluctuations of Diaphorina citri (Hem.: Liviidae) on Persian lime tree, Citrus latifolia, in Baluchestan, Iran

The population fluctuations of the Asian citrus psyllid nymphs, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, was studied in Persian lime orchards on the outskirts of Sarbaz, Rask and Polan towns in southeastern Iranian Baluchestan between 2007 and 2008. The species D. citri was observed feeding on its host plant throughout the year leading to overlapping generations. The highest density (126 ± 11 and 157.63 ± 68) occurred in Sarbaz in August and March. We reported the highest density for Rask and Polan in “September and March” and November respectively.
