ENY-739, a 7-page illustrated fact sheet by Michael E. Rogers and Philip A. Stansly, provides information about the biology of this vector of citrus greening disease to aid growers in implementing integrated pest management (IPM) practices for suppressing the population in citrus-growing areas of Florida. It includes sections on identification and biology, psyllid feeding damage, pathogen transmission, management, and selected references. Published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, June 2006.

This 4-page fact sheet written by Ariel Singerman and published by the UF/IFAS Food and Resource Economics Department presents the cost of production per acre for growing fresh grapefruit in the Indian River region during 2018/19. Estimates reflect costs and cultural practices for a panel of growers, particularly important information at this time because, since citrus greening (HLB) was found, growers have been modifying their practices from year to year in an attempt to cope with the disease. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe1078

This study was aimed to isolate and characterize the bacterium associated with citrus greening disease. As this disease cause losses in citrus industry of Pakistan. It was suspected that may be there are more than one bacterium involved in this disease development. This disease look like happens due to complex population of microorganism so the reason is still not identified. There is a need of extensive research on citrus greening to know the basic reason for this disease. Therefore an extensive survey of citrus orchards infected with citrus greening disease in Mian Chanu region of Punjab, Pakistan was conducted in August, 2015. Vein yellowing, blotchy mottle and vein thickening were recorded. . The PCR product of size 1500 bp was amplified with universal 16sRNA primers 27F/1492R and Nucleotide sequence was deposited in Gene Bank NCBI through accession number LT592134. BLAST and Phylogenetic analysis established their association with separate group. In our knowledge, this might be a new uncultured bacterium (1369 bp), associated with infection in citrus tree in Mian chanu, Pakistan.

Huanglongbing (HLB), commonly called citrus greening disease, is caused by the bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter spp. The name huanglongbing means “yellow dragon” which describes the symptom of a bright yellow shoot that commonly occurs on a sector of infected trees. HLB is a serious disease of citrus because it affects all citrus cultivars and causes rapid decline of trees.

Drought conditions make landscape irrigation and reducing water use top-of-mind for many Floridians. Encouraging wise water use is of particular importance to the smart irrigation industry and water policy makers. This 5-page fact sheet written by Hayk Khachatryan, Alicia Rihn, Dong Hee Suh, and Michael Dukes and published by the UF/IFAS Food and Resource Economics Department pinpoints key attributes and barriers affecting consumers' irrigation purchases and their adoption of smart irrigation technologies. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe1080
