1. Please state project objectives and what work was done this quarter to address them: This report is for the 3rd quarter of year 2 of Project 21-002C – Continued Support for the Southern Gardens Diagnostic Laboratory.  This project provides HLB testing for researchers, growers and homeowners.  A total of 9494 samples were run during the quarter. All samples were plant samples, mostly from research trials.  To date, a total of 49,606 samples have been run for the 7 quarters that have been funded to date.  This is slightly under the budgeted amount of 50,314 samples through 7 quarters.  2. Please state what work is anticipated for next quarter:   Based on expected trends, it is expected that we will be slightly over the budgeted amount of 57,500 samples for the 2 years.    3. Please state budget status (underspend or overspend, and why): It is expected that the number of samples will slightly exceed the budgeted amount.  If so, the budget will be adjusted to cover the cost of the overruns (expendibles only, labor will remain the same).
