Goals / Objectives
Conduct scenario-based simulations to analyze the effectiveness of current and alternative management strategies in California citrus landscapes (i.e., esidential/urban, commercial, mixed) as the Asian Citrus Psyllid/Huanglongbing (ACP/HLB) situation changes to assist in the design of efficient, location-based,management guidelines at multiple scales and epidemic phases. This modeling and simulation approach will provide Citrus Research Board/California Department of Food and Agriculture/Data Analysis and Tactical Operations Center (CRB/CDFA/DATOC) the capability to run comprehensive scenario analyses in a timely manner, and share informative results/outputs that can be readily explored by ACP/HLB management decision makers, growers and stakeholders (e.g., maps, control strategy guidelines, analysis updates).
Methods (unparsed)

â¿¢ Comprehensive analysis of Asian Citrus Psyllid/Huanglongbing (ACP/HLB) progress dynamics in California. â¿¢ Performance assessment of existing and alternative (location and epidemic phase-based) protocols on mitigating the impact of ACP/HLB, particularly into commercial citrus. â¿¢ Cost-benefit analysis of proposed control programs. â¿¢ Informative analyses and model outputs shared via Data Analysis and Tactical Operations Center (DATOC) (regularly as well as in relative short timeframes for complex, requested problems/scenarios. â¿¢ Predicted spatiotemporal HLB development for further agriculture economic analysis (University of California Agricultural Issues Center, University of California-Davis).
