Production and health management of pathogen-free (PF) citrus seedlings for the rehabilitation of the citrus industry from serious epidemic of HLB and virus diseases in the Philippines (Year 2)

This special project aims to rehabilitate the citrus industry in the Philippines and its neighboring countries through the introduction of integrated healthy management techniques to prevent the re-planted PF seedlings from being re-infected by HLB and virus diseases. Mass production and extensive planting of PF seedlings will be promoted in the Philippines. A training workshop on the healthy management of PF citrus seedlings in the field will be organized in the third year of the project.
