1. Please state project objectives and what work was done this quarter to address them: This report is for the fourth quarter of year 1 of Project 21-002C – Continued Support for the Southern Gardens Diagnostic Laboratory.  This project provides HLB testing for resarchers, growers and homeowners. A total of 4,512 samples were run during this 3 month-period.  All samples were plant samples, mostly from large scale research trials.  To date 29,216 samples have been run, which is slightly over the budgeted amount of 28,750 samples for year 1.   2. Please state what work is anticipated for next quarter: It is expected that sample volume will be slightly higher in quarters 1 and 2 of year 2 due to CRAFT projects which are just starting to come on line.  However this remains to be seen.   3. Please state budget status (underspend or overspend, and why): For year 1, the project is essentially on budget.  A total of 29,216 samples were run versus a budget of 28,750.  As has been done in previous years, the number of samples run at the end of year 2 will be reconciled against the budgeted amount and the last payment will be adjusted up or down as needed.
