Identification support for host material during citrus pest and disease surveys

Rapid communication of citrus pests and disease outbreaks depends on accurate identification of both pest and host. Because many citrus pests and diseases are restricted to specific citrus taxa, knowing the identity of the host can simplify pest identification, and is also important in ensuring accurate documentation. To help fill these needs, Citrus ID provides PPQ, its cooperators, and the citrus industry with a comprehensive, user-friendly tool to support citrus host identification.
