Description

Lime green ACP Sticky Roll traps are used to attract, trap and monitor the Asian citrus psyllid.

The Psyllids are attracted to the lime green colour and trapped on its sticky surface.

The Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama or ACP) causes serious damage to citrus plants and their relatives. Burned tips and twisted leaves result from an infestation on new growth. Psyllids are also carriers of disease. The ACP adult is identified by its brown body and brown mottled wings with an interrupted band at the wing-apex.
