How do you treat psyllid on citrus trees?
Only apply insecticides if psyllids have been observed in your area. Only apply insecticides to host plants of psyllids (citrus and closely related hosts). Avoid using insecticides during bloom to limit impacts on bees. Thoroughly wet the foliage when spraying, including undersides of leaves.
How do you take care of citrus trees?
Avoid soils with high salt contents or any dense, wet soil that can foster root rot. Do not add compost or heavy organic amendments around citrus trees, as these will only retain moisture that can damage roots. Citrus trees need a minimum of 6-8 hours of full, direct sunlight daily or they will not produce as well.
Why are the leaves on my citrus tree turning yellow?
Very often the yellow leaves or chlorosis on a citrus tree is caused by over watering or a nutrient deficiency. Citrus need regular water especially in the warm months but over watering can leach nutrients from the soil and cause root rot. If the roots are damaged they can't take up the nutrients the plant needs.
What is the best fertilizer for citrus trees?
Most citrus growers in our area will use 13-13-13 fertilizer the first 3 years. The first 3 years the tree is to develop the root system. If fruit develops it is necessary to pick it off to allow for the root development. Trees 4 years and older can use 13-13-13 but 15-5-10 is the preferred fertilizer.
what is isd treatment for citrus plants
I recently bought a meyer lemon plant from florida and it has a tag 'ISD Treatment with a date and expiration date of 2/28/10'. The tag also states that it requires retreatment after expiration date. Has anyone come across this and what is it? Do I have to spray the plant with anything else to maintain it indoors?

Kandhi, If you are growing this in Virginia, you should be fine. I think the treatment would be more of a concern if you were growing this in an area where there were other citrus growing. I can't give you specific information, I did try to google it but couldn't find specific answers.
Abstract
Type III stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is generally defined as a condition that involves intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). Although the clinical parameters for ISD are loosely defined as a Valsalva leak-point pressure <60 cmH 2 O or a maximal urethral closure pressure <20 cmH 2 O, consensus is lacking.
Key Points
Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) has classically been treated with pubovaginal slings
Introduction
In the normal healthy bladder, urinary continence is maintained because the pressure in the urethra exceeds that in the bladder. However, in the stress-incontinent bladder, a Valsalva manoeuvre increases abdominal pressure, which results in involuntary urine leakage.
The pathophysiology of SUI
SUI was once thought of as the result of downward movement of the urethra out of the abdomen, resulting in greater pressure transmission to the bladder than the urethra and the leakage of urine.
Surgical interventions
Historically, the type of incontinence determined choice of surgical treatment, with type I and II SUI treated with retropubic suspension surgeries (that is, the Burch or the MMK suspensions) to prevent urethral hypermobility.
Nonsurgical treatments
When ISD is mentioned, one would naturally think of considerable and troublesome leakage of urine. However, because the definition and measurement of ISD is not standardized, the severity is likely to be variable.
Conclusions
Determination of leak-point pressures and distinguishing SUI caused by ISD from SUI not caused by ISD might not be as important as was once thought. Indeed, the definition and method to diagnose ISD is not standardized and degrees of severity are likely amongst patients with ISD.
How to treat IBD?
When weight loss is severe, your doctor may recommend a special diet given via a feeding tube (enteral nutrition) or nutrients injected into a vein (parenteral nutrition) to treat your IBD. This can improve your overall nutrition and allow the bowel to rest. Bowel rest can reduce inflammation in the short term.
What is the best treatment for inflammatory bowel disease?
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Anti-inflammatories include corticosteroids and aminosalicylates, such as mesalamine (Asacol HD, Delzicol, others), balsalazide (Colazal) and olsalazine (Dipentum). Which medication you take depends on the area of your colon that's affected.
How to help Crohn's disease?
If you have trouble managing stress, try one of these strategies: Exercise. Even mild exercise can help reduce stress, relieve depression and normalize bowel function.
Does Crohn's disease cure?
Surgery for Crohn's disease. Up to two-thirds of people with Crohn's disease will require at least one surgery in their lifetime. However, surgery does not cure Crohn's disease. During surgery, your surgeon removes a damaged portion of your digestive tract and then reconnects the healthy sections.
