All the data from flowering branches was summarized for 4 Hamlin, 4 Valencia, two Murcott and two Sunburst blocks in various locations from Frostproof to Auburndale, FL. The best way to use this data in the Citrus Flowering Monitor System is now being assessed. The on-line ‘Citrus Flowering Monitor System has been upgrades and now covers new FAWN sites and provided accumulated induction hours and dates of bud break and full bloom. The fist estimates of vegetative flush will be added in the next two months along with 5-10 % open flower estimates. This will be in time to test it this coming spring.
