In this series of reports, Dr Warren Muir (photo right) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) discusses a recent decision by Citrus Commissioners to enlist the Academy’s involvement in citrus greening and canker research. Southeast AgNet’s Ernie Neff caught up with Dr Muir to ask for details of how the Academy came about and how they are structured to be able to possibly help the Florida citrus industry. Of particular interest is how scientists who are involved with the Academy actually donate their professional time, while the citrus grower dollars allocated to NAS will be in support of out-of-pocket and NAS systems expenses for these scientific teams to become involved.
