Parts of California See New Expansion in Citrus Greening Quarantine

Harvest has begun in the Millennium Block, a seven-year, 5,000-tree research project designed to identify HLB-tolerant citrus varieties and rootstocks.

University of Florida researchers are using a combination of individual protective covers and plant growth regulators to help trees survive deadly disease.

USDA-APHIS is taking action because of citrus greening detections in plant tissue samples collected in Riverside and Orange counties.

University of Florida researchers are joining forces to wage a high-tech war against plant pests and diseases with citrus greening as top priority.

A trio of grants totaling more than $11 million helping scientists focus on instilling disease tolerance below ground and above ground.

What started out as a novel experiment to help protect young trees from the Asian citrus psyllid is proving fruitful.

Among top goals for the new research center is to find citrus varieties that can tolerate or even resist citrus greening disease.

$5 million in funding from USDA to help fuel latest efforts to thwart devastating citrus disease and its vector.

USDA’s initial citrus crop estimates indicate another season of well below-normal output; but there is some hope.
