CITRUS PRODUCERS HEADED TO BRAZIL
 
Jay Clark and Mike Sparks of Florida Citrus Mutual will join about 15 growers as they tour several commercial citrus groves in Brazil April 21-28. The group will study the ways in which Brazilian producers handle pests and diseases such as citrus greening.
 
Dr. Steve Futch of the University of Florida/IFAS organized the trip at the request of the industry. Dr. Futch specializes in citrus production and weed control at the Citrus Research and Education Center at Lake Alfred.
