Organic fruit production is expanding rapidly, and has a superior market value compared to conventional produce. It is also a challenging production system. Organic fruit production is especially challenged by losses to pest and diseases, and lack of information on management, suitable varieties, and rootstocks.
Solution
This course gives an overview of the challenges and tools for best practice plant protection in organic citrus fruit production.
