A small group of growers and citrus researchers from Texas is visiting the Sunshine State this week, on a mission to learn more about the status of citrus “greening” in Florida.
They also want to learn how best to handle it if and/or when it arrives in Texas citrus groves. In the first of these two reports, comments from Texas Citrus Mutual President Ray Pruitt (photo left). In the second report, Paul Heller of Rio Queen Citrus in Mission, Tx (photo right) offers insight on how Texas growers feel about having citrus psyllid pests in their midst, but not yet ‘greening.’
