LAKELAND – During simultaneous meetings held last month at Agriculture Research Service in Fort Pierce and the National Academy of Sciences in West Palm Beach, researchers from institutions in Florida, other states and other countries urged all citrus growers and industry participants to continue to work diligently solve devastating citrus diseases, such as greening. "We brought together 23 scientists, including plant pathologists, botanists, entomologists, microbiologists and others to offer the industry new perspective beyond that of the citrus research establishment," stated Robin Schoen, director of the Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources, National Research Council, NAS. "Members of the NAS panel were astonished by the rapid spread and severe impact of greening in Florida to date. We realize that urgent and immediate attention is needed to address this situation so that it does not escalate out of control." "Our goal is to preserve the future of the citrus industry in Florida.

"This joint meeting illustrates the willingness of the Florida scientific community to embrace new research directions as we move forward." ...more
