CRDF

In 2009, the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, Inc. (CRDF) was formed to coordinate citrus research funding in the face of huanglongbing (HLB, also known as “citrus greening”). While it addresses the full array of citrus research needs, CRDF has focused on HLB because it represents an existential threat to the Florida citrus industry.

The 2nd Annual Virtual Educational Session took place on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 and was presented by CRDF and hosted by Florida Citrus Mutual.  The Researchers presented on citrus nutrition management, crop coverage, and rootstock/scion studies.  There were also video presentations from CRAFT Grower Cooperators highlighting aspects of particular CRAFT trial participation.  Watch Seminar Recording Here
