Mid Florida Citrus Foundation (MFCF) currently supports the research efforts of scientists from the University of Florida, USDA and private industry. The majority of research projects are conducted by UF scientists at the approximately 100 acre citrus grove. The MFCF supports citrus research through the employment of a full time grove manager whom works closely with researchers to ensure that their projects are handled properly and that the grove is an excellent condition. The management of this grove requires extra financial commitment as grove care cost tend to be higher than a commercial grove due to the nature of many of the research projects. Current projects being conducted at the MFCF are Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) pesticide evaluation control trials, low volume applicator trials, windbreak evaluation, HLB nutritional programs, new and existing herbicide trials, variety and rootstock evaluation trials. The MFCF is in the process of expanding grove to allow more research work to be conducted. This was made possible due to the fact that the MFCF received an EQIP grant from the Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) and matching funds from the FCPRAC. These federal NRCS dollars are for the implementation of windbreaks around existing or planned citrus groves and for the conversion of water guns to micro-sprinklers. Expansion projects include an economic study of high density citrus rooted cuttings for early fruit production in the presence of greening, remedial and preventive tests for HLB infection and new herbicide trials. Future expansion plans (by spring 2011)if continuing to receive matching FCPRA support includes new plantings for ACP control trials.
