INTRODUCTION
The disorder of citrus described as `greening' was first reported in 1947 from South Africa , although the disease has been known since 1929. Likubin has seriously affected citrus trees in Taiwan since 1951, while a similar disease known as `huang-lunpin' (yellow shoot) was reported in 1943 in Mainland China.
