Citrus Greening Diseases Threatens Florida's Orange Industry
Close up of oranges. Guy Davies, an inspector for the Florida Division of Plant Industry, uses a stick to hit the leaves on a citrus tree hoping to dislodge into the container the insect Asian citrus psyllid that carries the bacterium causing disease, 'citrus greening' or huanglongbing, from tree to tree. Davis is part of a team trying to track the movement of the insect. There is no known cure for the disease that forms when the insect deposits the bacterium on citrus trees causing the leaves on the tree to turn yellow the roots to decay and bitter fruits fall off the dying branches prematurely. Steps continue to be taken to try and combat the disease but none have stopped the attack on the citrus business as it spreads from Florida to other citrus producing states.
