Pacific Fertilizer Company highlights a specific approach to manage and treat the Citrus Blackfly (Aleurocanthus woglumi) infestation in trees. 

Treatment Scope of Work for Citrus Blackfly:

  1. Pest Identification: Identify and confirm the presence of the Citrus Blackfly (Aleurocanthus woglumi) on the trees.

  2. Fertilizer Application: Apply Pacific Fertilizer Company's Triple Strength Fertilizer to enhance the overall health and resilience of the trees, making them more capable of withstanding the Citrus Blackfly attack.

  3. Raised Dirt Frame Maintenance: Ensure that the one-foot raised dirt frames used for growing trees are properly maintained, providing necessary support for the trees.

  4. Watering and Harvest Cycle:

    • Watering and Harvest Cycle Operator: During the watering and harvest cycles, operate a 15-pound pressure washer to hose down the trees. This may help dislodge and deter the Citrus Blackflies.
  5. Fertilizer Application (Minerals): Apply a concentrated ocean mineral-based fertilizer to improve the overall health and vigor of the trees, further supporting their ability to resist the Citrus Blackfly infestation.

  6. Pest Monitoring:

    • Monitoring Team: Conduct daily monitoring to assess the extent of the Citrus Blackfly infestation, track the effectiveness of treatments, and report findings to the team leader.
  7. Pressure Wash Treatment:

    • Pressure Wash Operator: Administer the pressure wash treatment as needed to physically remove Citrus Blackflies and their eggs from the trees.
  8. Temperature Management: Maintain temperature conditions suitable for tree growth, ensuring that the trees thrive in the intended climate.

  9. Deep Clean Cycle:

    • Deep Clean Team: Implement a two-day deep clean cycle to ensure a reduction of pests by 80%. This involves more intensive cleaning and pest removal efforts.
