Dr Jim Graham,  UF/CREC Another follow up story in this report out of the recent Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) seminar held at UF’s Citrus Research and Education Center at Lake Alfred.

But as CREC’s Dr Jim Graham (in photo) and others discussed with growers attending the recent SAR session, grower efforts are encouraged but proper documentation is critical. And there are other, even more important considerations for growers who may be contemplating trying some trials of their own. Listen To wmaReport (1:30 mp3)
