Fifty growers and production managers took a full-day bus tour a week before Thanksgiving to see how nutritional sprays and so-called systemic acquired resistance (SAR) products are working in some greening-infected groves in Southwest Florida. The tour, organized by Peace River Valley Citrus Growers
Association, started and finished in Arcadia and included several stops near Immokalee. Southeast AgNet’s Ernie Neff provides an overview in the first report.
In the additional reports, PRVCGA’s Barbara Carlton tells why the tour was organized, and Southern Gardens scientist Mike Irey, 
who addressed the growers, talks about greening in general, nutritional sprays and SARs, and more. Additional information coming from the tour will be posted at this site soon.
