Observation Two ant species occurred with psyllids on orange jasmine.
Observation Only P. megacephala was found on orange jasmine during ant exclusion experiments.
Observation P. megacephala numbers on unprotected orange jasmine flushes fluctuated from 0.15 to 0.5 per flush.
Observation Ant numbers on Persian lime ranged from 1.44 to 6.61 per flush.
Intervention effect Ant exclusion raised psyllid nymph parasitism on orange jasmine to 20.36% versus 0.39% in controls.
Intervention effect Ant exclusion raised psyllid nymph parasitism on Persian lime to 58% versus 8.57% in controls.
Intervention effect Granular ant bait reduced ant populations and increased psyllid parasitism.
