Imagine starting your day without the refreshing taste of orange juice. It's a scary thought, but the reality is that citrus production worldwide is facing a grave threat – HLB disease.
What is HLB?
HLB (Huanglongbing), also known as citrus greening, is a devastating bacterial disease that severely damages citrus trees. Spread by tiny insects called Asian citrus psyllids, HLB starves trees of nutrients, causing them to produce bitter, misshapen fruit and eventually die.
No cure, but Hope
While there is no cure for HLB, research shows that strategic nutrient management can significantly improve the health and productivity of infected trees. Recent studies have found that a combination of nitrogen, manganese, and zinc applications can help alleviate HLB symptoms and boost yields.
Early Detection is Key
Detecting HLB early is crucial for effective management. Plant Sap Analysis (PSA) is a cutting-edge tool that can identify nutrient deficiencies and HLB infection even before visible symptoms appear. This early warning allows growers to adjust their nutrient programs and minimize the impact of the disease.
