As the worldwide citrus community gears up for next week’s big global gathering of scientists involved in Huanglongbing (HLB) research, the citrus tree disease also known to many as “citrus greening”, many of the same researchers are recently back from a huge global citrus research conference in China that focused on the entire scope of citrus studies going on around the world.
