Abstract: Citrus is one of the important economic crops in the world. With the expansion of production scale, pest control has become a bottleneck restricting its development. Diaphorina citri is the most serious worldwide pest among numerous insects that harm citrus. Its adults and nymphs can not only directly stab and damage rutaceae plants such as citrus and lemon, but also transmit citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) as the only natural vector. The ‘Push-pull strategy’, with the advantages of economy, convenience, high-efficiency and green, is crucial in the ecological regulation and management of pests. Popularizing the ‘push-pull’ strategy could contribute to controlling the citrus psyllid and promoting the green development of the citrus industry. This review summarized the current progress from components of push and pull. It is expected that the development trends of push-pull strategy will provide theoretical reference for the economical, convenient and effective control of citrus psyllid and accelerate the healthy and sustainable development of citrus industry.

Key words: ecological regulation, citrus psyllid, ‘push-pull’ strategy, repellant, attractant
