Synchronized Rearing of Mated and Unmated Diaphorina Citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) of Known Age

Methods were developed for synchronized rearing of unmated and mated Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama; Hemiptera: Liviidae) of known age in isolation chambers for behavioral studies. Maintenance and survival of nymphs and adults in the isolation chambers was improved over previous methods because the plants had more room to grow and the relative humidity was easier to keep within acceptable limits.
