US (CA): Tulare citrus quarantine announced

The quarantine restrictions in Tulare County resulting from the discovery of Asian citrus psyllids recently, have been announced.

The Department of Food and Agriculture said on Tuesday the restriction will apply to 5-mile zones around two sites in Tulare County where the pests were found.

Under the restrictions, only citrus fruit that has been commercially cleaned and packed can be transported outside the 5-mile zones. The cleaning process must include the removal of all stems and leaves.

State officials say they are investigating whether the recently discovered psyllids indicate an established breeding population, or whether they were hitchhikers from infested counties in Southern California.
