Huanglongbing (HLB) or greening is currently considered the disease with the greatest destructive potential in citriculture worldwide. Brazil is a large citrus producer, and HLB harms and puts the entire production chain of the crop in the country at risk, causing serious losses. The fall of symptomatic fruits and reduced quality and productivity can be highlighted as characteristics of this disease. The ability of the vector insect, the psyllid Diaphorina citri, to disperse between peripheral areas (borders), in addition to the ability of this pathogen to spread by insects developed on contaminated plants, demands organization for the management of disease control, making such an act very difficult. In this sense, the present work had as objective to evaluate the HLB indexes, in the total area of properties in the region of Araraquara, SP. Inspections were carried out on the reports provided by Fundecitrus and the data obtained were submitted to descriptive analysis to assess the frequency of occurrence of the disease. As a result, it was observed that sampling research is extremely important and efficient in combating the disease, especially at the beginning of its onset, allowing to conclude that is possible to control this disease when the management is adequate.
