1 Citrus: Should We Still Plant Them? The Question of the Hour. J.D. Burrow, M.M. Dewdney, and M. Rogers University of Florida, IFAS, Citrus Research and Education Center
2 Outline Florida Citrus History Citrus Canker Citrus Greening Homeowner Options for Growing Citrus Anything new on the horizon? Summary: The answer to the question.
3 Florida Citrus History 1565-Citrus arrived with Spaniards in St. Augustine 1763-First commercial citrus grove established 1860-Leesburg was declared the first citrus center of the state 1915-First citrus processing plant in America opens 1945-Citrus concentrate is developed Christmas Freeze practically wiped out the citrus industry north of I-4
4 Florida Citrus History Florida is closely linked to citrus Today, it is a $9 billion industry
5 Florida Citrus Disease-Pest History 1933-Citrus Canker (bacterial disease) 1993-Citrus Leafminer (pest) 1998-Asian Citrus Psyllid (pest) 1986 and 1995 Citrus Canker returns 2005-Citrus Greening (bacterial disease) 2010-Citrus Black Spot (fungal disease) Future the possibility of diseases we don t have yet!
6 Citrus Greening
7 Fact or Fiction Huanglongbing HLB Citrus greening Spread by an insect
8 History 1919: First reported in China 1921: Reported in the Philippines, but thought it was zinc related 1937: In South Africa, thought to be mineral toxicity : Most extensive work on greening conducted in southern China
9 History 1960: Appeared in Thailand 1965: Researchers demonstrated HLB was transmissible by grafting and the citrus psyllid 1966: Filipino and Indian researchers recognized the similarities between various named diseases
10 History 1998: Asian citrus psyllid arrived in Florida 2004: Disease confirmed in Brazil 2005: Disease confirmed in Florida 2005 to the present: Disease continues to spread throughout Florida
11 United States Locations ACP and HLB ACP only Greening Spread Through the Years 2005: Florida 2009: Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina 2012: California and Texas Map retrieved from
12 Importance Affects fresh market fruit Affects processed fruit No cure for the disease
13 Biology Caused by a bacteria Found within the phloem of the tree Healthy Infected
14 Biology Affects all citrus varieties Affects plants in the Rutaceae family Affects box orange and orange jasmine Murraya paniculata (orange jasmine)
15 Biology Some plants host the vector only Some plants host the vector and are susceptible for greening
16 Bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus Gram negative Defines type of bacteria Phloem limited Fastidious bacterium Cannot grow in culture Reproduces/multiplies in both the psyllid and the tree Photo Credit: Huanglongbing: A Destructive, Newly-Emerging, Century-Old Disease of Citrus, J.M. Bové
17
18 Spread Asian citrus psyllid Grafting with infected bud wood Is not seed transmissible NOT by contact, tools or equipment
19 Asian Citrus Psyllid 5 nymphal stages Ten generations per year Life cycle between days Egg to adult in two weeks at 75-80ºF
20 Asian Citrus Psyllid Psyllids fly or are carried by the wind to new plants Psyllids feed on an infected tree and then transmit the bacteria to healthy trees
21 Asian Citrus Psyllid Damage Spreads the greening bacteria Nymphs produce a waxy secretion Notching on leaves
22 Leaf Symptoms Blotchy mottle patterns Mature leaves Asymmetrical pattern Inside or outer edges of canopy Pattern will appear on both sides of the leaf
23 Leaf Symptoms Blotchy mottle patterns Yellow veins Not a definite symptoms of HLB, but one should inspect the tree more closely if found Found on young and mature leaves
24 Leaf Symptoms Blotchy mottle patterns Yellow veins Vein corking Raised veins with a corky appearance Found on mature leaves
25 Commonly Mistaken for HLB Broken limb Foliar symptoms of trees with foot rot (Phytophthora)
26 Commonly Mistaken for HLB Insect damage Herbicide/Chemical damage Don t forget to look at both sides!
27 Nutrient Deficiencies vs. HLB Zinc Small and narrow leaves with yellow mottle on green background Iron Green veins on a light yellow to white colored leaf Mongi Zekri
28 Nutrient Deficiencies vs. HLB Manganese Dark green veins with a lighter green background Magnesium Inverted V pattern Mongi Zekri Tom Obreza
29 Identifying a Leaf Sample Circle areas on opposite sides of the midvein. Are they the same on both sides? Nutrient deficiencies are symmetrical and HLB symptoms are asymmetrical Look at the other side of the leaf
30 Fruit Symptoms Unmarketable, bitter fruit Cannot be used for fresh Can be used in process, but may have a flavor consequence
31 Internal Fruit Symptoms Yellow stain beneath the calyx button Curved central core Aborted seeds
32 External Fruit Symptoms Lopsided Misshapen Small Does not color properly
33 Tree Symptoms Leaf and fruit drop Yellow shoot Severely infected trees Stunted Sparse foliation Twig dieback Off-season bloom
34 Unsure-is it greening or not? Three options for testing Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee Division of Plant Industry, Gainesville Plant Disease Clinic, Gainesville
35 What to do if a tree has greening No known cure once a tree is infected You cannot prune away an HLB infection Tree removal is the only known effective control Trees usually decline within 3-5 years of infection and ultimately die
36 Homeowner Options Prevention Tree Removal and replant Refuse to remove tree Remove ornamental hosts Alternative crops
37 Option #1: Prevention Maintain a healthy tree The source of spread is the psyllid; therefore, prevention of the psyllid is key! You cannot prevent psyllids flying onto your citrus trees Limited chemicals for homeowner usage
38 Option #1: Chemical Prevention Non-systemic (foliar applied) Systemic (soil applied and taken up by roots) Remember - the label is the law!
39 Option #1: Chemical Prevention Non-systemic Horticultural oil Malathion Carbaryl Systemic Imidacloprid
40 Option #1: Organic Prevention Horticultural mineral oil Neem oil Remember - the label is the law!
41 Option #1: Organic Prevention Kaolin Clay product White covering on the tree Photosynthesis??? Reduces heat stress; therefore, maintaining photosynthesis Improves productivity Reduces sunburn (mandarin) Will need to purchase from specialty garden stores S. L. Lapointe, U.S.Horticultural Research Lab, Ft. Pierce, FL
42 Option #2: Tree Removal and Replant A psyllid won t feed on a dead tree After removal of the tree Burn Put in lawn waste
43 Option #2: Tree Removal and Replant When removing an infected tree be sure to kill the stump with a herbicide to prevent sprouting Sprouts will contain the bacteria and be a source of inoculum
44 Option #2: Tree Removal and Replant If other trees nearby, some roots will graft together-be careful applying a herbicide! You can replant in the same area, but should wait depending on the chemical used
45 Option #2: Tree Removal and Replant No regulated time period to replant Be cautious and alert when buying a citrus tree Citrus trees are more scarce and more expensive than they used to be buying one is an INVESTMENT! Buy from a reputable local garden center or nursery who is knowledgeable about citrus
46 Option #2: Tree Removal and Replant DO NOT buy a tree without a tag! FDACS Rule 5B (3) All retail citrus trees must be tagged with information to identify the variety of the rootstock and scion stock and producing nursery. Each individual tree shall be identified with a slip-on label displaying the following information: a. The producing nursery s certificate of nursery registration number It is not necessary to include the name of the producing nursery on the label. b. The variety name, rootstock and month and year acquired.
47 Option #3: Refuse to remove tree Tree remains a source for psyllids to feed and continue to spread the bacteria It will become unproductive!
48 Option #3: Refuse to remove tree Nutrient programs? Will not cure the tree, only prolong the life
49 Growing citrus in the dooryard is no longer a simple task. Options 4 and 5 will assist in a different way.
50 Option #4: Remove ornamental hosts Remove host plants Murraya paniculata (orange jasmine)
51 Option #5: Alternative Crops Peaches Blueberries Pomegranates Persimmons Chestnuts
52 Alternative Crops-Considerations Pick something you like Ornamental flowers, but not edible Maintenance Varmits (squirrels, raccoons, deer, etc.) Things to think about
53 Anything new on the horizon? Research is on-going Research is wide-ranging Research takes time!
54 Summary The answer to the question Ask yourself these questions Do I have time to take care of my tree(s)? Do I have the financial means to purchase the necessary products to prevent citrus greening? If I answered yes to the above questions, will I make the commitment?
55 Growing citrus today is an investment of time, money, and resources. Are you willing or are you unable?
56 There are many opinions on whether residents should or should not grow citrus, but in reality, the decision is left to the stewardship of the homeowner and their willingness to be an asset to the citrus industry. *According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, stewardship is defined as the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care
