US (CA): Asian citrus psyllid quarantine expands in Tulare County

An additional portion of Tulare County has been placed under quarantine for the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) following the detection of one psyllid near the unincorporated area west of the City of Porterville in Tulare County. This brings the total quarantine area in Tulare County to 746 square miles.

The new quarantine zone measures 13 square miles in Tulare County, bordered on the north by Avenue 184; on the east by W Westfield Avenue; on the south by Avenue 144; and on the west by Road 192. This area is in addition to the previously announced quarantine areas of Tulare County. The maps are available online at: www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/go/acp-quarantine-sjv

In addition to the new and existing quarantines in portions of Tulare County and nearby portions of Fresno and Kern counties, ACP quarantines are now in place in Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties.
