The Asian Citrus Psyllid was discovered in Tulare County, agricultural offices said Monday.
The CDFA is in the process of establishing a 20 mile quarantine area, requiring two years without a find before eradication can be declared.

Also, fruit from outside the quarantine area may transit through a quarantine area, but must move without stopping or delay.
