). Several methods have been employed to control this disease, including site preparation, irrigation management, crop rotation, use of chemicals or biorational products, and combining different methods together ( Bi et al., 2012 ; Cimen et al., 2009

disease will follow the spread of the vector. The production of disease-resistant varieties is a vital component to a sustainable and long-term citrus management program. Insect-resistant traits have been documented among members of the orange subfamily

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a dominating factor in the water cycle for most agricultural crops including citrus and plays a critical role in irrigation management ( Bates et al., 2008 ; Castel et al., 1987 ; Jia et al., 2007 ; Morgan, 1992
