Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program

The Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program (CPDPP) is an initiative funded by California citrus growers and administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture dedicated to combatting serious pests and diseases that threaten the state’s trees. 

The program’s focus is Huanglongbing (HLB), a plant disease found in California. While not harmful to humans, it is fatal for citrus trees and has no cure. The disease is spread by a pest called the Asian citrus psyllid as it feeds on the citrus tree leaves. 

If you think you’ve spotted psyllids on your tree or suspect your tree is infected with HLB, act fast. Call the free statewide hotline at 800-491-1899 to speak to an expert.
