At least one citrus tree is found at 70% of Southern California homes, according to University of California researchers, who estimate there are as many or more residential citrus trees as there are trees in commercial groves in Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>Public service announcements on the radio and television and meetings with local government officials are paying off, Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody has been helpful, but the area\u2019s Hispanic and Indian communities have been fantastic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that those Southern California residents are aware of psyllid populations in Mexico and India is likely a factor in the cooperation the task force is receiving, Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>While there has been progress, eradicating the psyllids and preventing the disease from reaching California will be a long term affair, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say we\u2019re three to five years away from knowing what the compound is that\u2019s going to work \u2014 and another several years of testing before we can actually put it into practice in the fields,\u201d Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to say in less than 10 years we shall have solutions that we\u2019ll be testing and then able to move into commercial application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the interim, the trap-setting continues at an accelerated pace in nearly every corner of California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverywhere there\u2019s a block of citrus,\u201d Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>Particular emphasis is being placed on the San Joaquin Valley, the state\u2019s major citrus growing region. The southern end of the valley is only 90 miles north of Los Angeles and is separated from the urban area by the Tehachapi Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it (the psyllid) gets over the hill, we\u2019ve got to find it fast,\u201d Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>California is not alone in searching for a solution to the psyllid-carried disease. Several laboratories in Florida, along with Texas A&amp;M University, are conducting research along with University of California researchers at several locations, Batkin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the magic bullet yet, but we\u2019re looking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: The Packer VISALIA, Calif. \u2014 The task force fighting the Asian citrus psyllid is not prepared to declare victory in California, but it seems to have the enemy surrounded.
