The May issue of Specialty Crop Grower magazine is where to find the latest Citrus Industry articles.
If your grove is in Florida, there’s a good chance ghost snails have haunted your trees and irrigation equipment. An article from University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) assistant professors Lauren Diepenbrock and Nicole Quinn offers some advice on how to deal with the problem. Learn what baits work best as well as what research is underway to give growers more management options.
If you missed the newly formatted Florida Citrus Growers’ Institute in early April, you’ll want to check out highlights from the event in the May issue. Get details on newly presented research. In addition to making presentations, UF/IFAS researchers were on hand at individual learning stations to further discuss their work and take questions from grower attendees. The digital edition of the magazine contains special video coverage from the event.
Growers were also out and about this spring at the Finger Lime Field Day hosted in March by the UF/IFAS Plant Science Research and Education Unit in Citra. This is one of the topics Peter Chaires covers in his Citrus Nursery Source feature. He also addresses the FAST TRACK new variety program.
Also in the May issue, Florida Department of Citrus Economist Marisa Zansler shares new insights on orange juice (OJ) demand. She provides data from the Florida Agricultural Market Research Center on recent changes to not-from-concentrate and reconstituted OJ prices and sales volume. Zansler discusses what these changes mean for the market moving forward.
