The Organic Center invites you to explore emerging research on organic and biological approaches to managing citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB), one of the most significant challenges facing citrus growers.

This webinar will bring together leading researchers to share findings on strategies to manage HLB and the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), the insect responsible for spreading the disease. Attendees will learn how research on organic controls, plant volatiles, biopesticides, and predator lures may help inform more effective, season-long management strategies.

The discussion will also explore:

Organic and biological approaches to managing citrus greening
Strategies to manage the Asian citrus psyllid and support its natural enemies
Research findings from field evaluations of organic controls
Economic considerations for Florida citrus growers and opportunities in the organic citrus market

Whether you're a citrus grower, researcher, agricultural professional, or industry stakeholder, this webinar will connect emerging science with practical considerations for strengthening organic citrus production.
