Candidate colors for ACP monitoring studyAlpha Scents President, Dr. Darek Czokajlo has co-authored, for the Florida citrus industry, Detection and Monitoring Trap for the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama with Dr. Mamoudou S�tamou of Texas A&M University.  The objective of the research was to determine the most effective color for monitoring and detecting psyllid populations.  Eleven candidate colors were selected and developed by Alpha Scents, Inc. and tested in two trials October through December at the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Citrus Center orchards near Weslaco, Texas.  Along the perimeter of the orchard where most of the trap catches are generally made, adult psyllids exhibited strong preference for the newly developed Green 1 color.  Alpha Scents has released a sticky card trap of this color under the product name ACP-Trap.
