Federal Citrus Research Grant Helps Fund HLB Effort

Dan Citrus, Florida

 Southeast AgNet’s Ernie Neff Florida Citrus Mutual announces a $2 million federal grant for HLB – or citrus greening – research. The organization says the funding will help relieve some of the pressure to fund disease research through grower box tax dollars collected by the Florida Department of Citrus or the Florida Citrus Production Research Advisory Council.
