Citrus greening research is a important priority for the Florida citrus industry. As seen in this article from the Lakeland Ledger, citrus industry greening research is expected to receive $10 million plus to research this fatal disease. This photo from 2008 shows a researcher at the Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred working in a microbiology lab. Most people don’t realize that citrus and agricultural researchers use the same types of techniques used in medical laboratories in their projects. This includes genetics, microbiology, epidemiology. But, these advanced methods are vital to finding solutions to elusive disease management issues such as those related to citrus greening.
citrus research. We’ve been in Florida for three generations. The idea behind this blog is to tell the Florida citrus story straight from the field in a visual way. I also have a web development firm. Be sure to also check out Panotracks, my professional photography portfolio. I also developed one of the most widely used citrus management field apps using artificial intelligence and handheld PDA devices. Some of the other websites I've designed or developed include Indian River Citrus League, Florida Department of Citrus, and Blue Goose Growers.
