City of Palm Desert issued the following announcement on Nov. 18.
California’s beloved citrus trees are being threatened by the deadly plant disease, Huanglongbing (HLB). To fight HLB, thousands of tiny beneficial insects called Tamarixia radiata are being released in neighborhoods across California to reduce populations of the Asian citrus psyllid, the pest that carries the disease.
Learn more about the natural biological control and how you can help in the fight to save the Coachella Valley citrus. More information is available here.
