Abstract
Main management options for Arthropod pests of citrus and species recently introduced in the northern Mediterranean regions are reviewed. Available control strategies are discussed, incuding visual inspections practices, insect trapping methods and parasitoids or parasites release in augmentative or classical biological control. IPM practices and side effects of pesticides are also reviewed.
