1. Please state project objectives and what work was done this quarter to address them: Please state project objectives and what work was done this quarter to address them: This report is for the first quarter of year 2 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 6,016 samples were run during this 3 month-period.  All samples were plant samples, mostly from large scale research trials.  To date 35,232 samples have been run, which is under the budgeted amount of 35,938 for 5 quarters of work.   2. Please state what work is anticipated for next quarter:We appear to be on track or possibly slightly under what was budgeted.  Whether or not we stay at this level most likely will depend on how many samples growers and researcher submit related to trials with OTC. 3. Please state budget status (underspend or overspend, and why): To date, the project is essentially on budget.  A total of 35,232 samples were run versus a budget of 35,938.  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.
