3rd Annual Citrus Health Research Forum |
The Citrus Industry Needs You!
The Citrus Health Research Forum is an industry-driven meeting aimed at ensuring a productive and thriving citrus industry in the face of serious pests and diseases. The forum will address current citrus research efforts as well as identifying priorities for future research endeavors.
Discussions will be centered on three research outcomes:
- How do we keep groves currently affected by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) and Huanglongbing (HLB) disease productive?
- How do we prevent or slow the spread of HLB and ACP?
- Citrus groves or trees free of HLB and ACP: What genetic and horticulture strategies should be pursued?
