Since 20 years the application of integrated pest management in citrus orchards is studied in Turkey. About 88 different citrus pests were observed out of which 15 pests have to be considered as key pests. For most pests a lot of native natural enemies were observed in Turkey which are able to control almost all key pasts, if the natural balance was not destroyed by the excessive use of pesticides. Enhancement of natural enemies, the importation of specific parasitoids and predators and the application of summer oil once or twice a year were found to control all major pests successfully. In this report we present and discuss the principal control strategies of all major pests in the integrated pest management program, developed within the last 20 years
