En grand nombre, les psylles affaiblissent les arbres, nuisent à l'élongation des pousses et abaissent éventuellement les rendements l'année suivante en compromettant la mise à fruits. Les psylles sont aussi responsables du flétrissement, du roussissement et de la chute prématurée des feuilles, qu'on attribue à la salive toxique qu'ils injectent dans les tissus pendant qu'ils s'alimentent. Les arbres affaiblis par des infestations graves (plus de 10 psylles actifs par pousse) peuvent aussi être plus vulnérables aux blessures par l'hiver. 2, record 2, French, - psylle%20du%20poirier
