US (CA): Citrus psyllid spreads
State Department of Food and Agriculture officials say emergency action is needed to protect California's $2 billion per year citrus industry from enormous impact should the tree-killing pest spread citrus greening disease to commercial groves and backyard trees.
The state discovered the pest earlier this month, in a trap some 30 miles away from Hacienda Heights where greening was recently discovered for the first time in the state.
