As the new Florida citrus season starts, growers have a lot on their minds: the low citrus forecast, the threat of potential freezes, and how best to protect trees and employees. The November issue of Citrus Industry magazine aims to address these concerns.
First up is a complete report on USDA’s initial crop forecast for the season. Find out what to expect from each of the citrus-producing states and get industry reactions to the numbers.
Now is the time to think about freeze protection. An article this month describes the difference between advective and radiational freezes and what protection techniques work best for each.
A CEU Central article details proper storage of pesticides. The article will help keep workers safe and is good for one Florida restricted-use pesticide license CEU.
The November issue also includes articles on citrus under protective screen and individual protective covers. Both tools are designed to keep trees safe from psyllids. Get the latest research on these methods.
Hear about research on genome sequencing, sting nematodes and COVID-19 in the latest episode of the All in for Citrus podcast.
