Organic Center study zeroes in on organic ways to beat citrus greening
Organic citrus growers need ways to control citrus greening through organic practices, without the use of toxic chemicals or genetic engineering.
To help organic producers more effectively combat citrus greening, The Organic Center, Washington, D.C., released a white paper that mines the existing body of scientific literature devoted to citrus greening, compiles relevant results and synthesizes them to create a farmer/nurseryman-focused document.
The study, funded by the UNFI Foundation, Providence, R.I., consolidates existing literature on allowable methods for combating citrus greening in organic groves.
