What are the control methods for the wolfberry psyllid?
The wolfberry psyllid, also called pig-snout honey or jaundice, belongs to the family Psyllidae and is a major pest of the wolfberry (goji). Adults and nymphs damage branches and leaves, sucking sap, which weakens the tree, causes early leaf drop, and seriously affects the following year's yield. The wolfberry psyllid has 4 generations a year, overwintering as adults in bark crevices, wall cracks, soil cracks, dead branches and fallen leaves, and weeds. In late March of the following year, the adults emerge from dormancy, reproduce and cause damage; damage is most severe from June to October, and at the end of October the last-generation adults overwinter. Its control methods are the same as those for aphids.
