Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri
is the main vector of the bacteria associated with Huanglongbing,
and can exploit more than 50 species of the
family Rutaceae as hosts. The number of possible hosts is
even higher if plant varieties are included. This study
evaluated the influence of different combinations of scion
and rootstock citrus varieties on the development and
feeding of ACP. Survival rates for the egg stage were
highest on the Valencia and Sicilian varieties, both grafted
on Sunki mandarin, with means of 87.99 and 87.98%,
respectively; and lowest (67.63%) on Hamlin 9 Rangpur
lime. The lowest levels of both nymphal and total viability
(egg-adult) were obtained on Hamlin, regardless of the
rootstock used. The total development time (egg-adult)
ranged from 17.92 to 19.33 days for the Peˆra 9 Sunki and
Hamlin 9 Swingle combinations, respectively. Cluster
analysis separated the hosts into two groups, the first
consisting of the combinations of the Hamlin variety, and
the second group formed by the other varieties. The highest
food value (assessed by the area of honeydew produced)
was observed for the orange scion varieties, and among
these, the highest value was observed on Valencia
(0.902 cm2); the smallest honeydew area was obtained on
Ponkan (0.269 cm2). The rootstocks did not affect the
feeding behavior of D. citri. The results of this study could
aid in the development of management techniques, mainly
in providing information for the installation of new citrus
groves and assistance in crop-improvement research.
