Economic Importance
In 1977, Encarsia lahorensis
became established in Florida, and by 1980 had suppressed
the population of D. citri (Nguyen and Sailer
1979; Sailer et al. 1984). Since then, D. citrifolii
has gradually replaced D. citri on citrus in
central and southern Florida (Nguyen and Hamon 2002).
