摘要

Researchers find new focus to attack citrus greening. Scientists studying huanglongbing—or HLB—have made an unexpected discovery.Even though the disease is introduced into citrus trees through a vector—the Asian citrus psyllid— the infection causes root damage even before aboveground symptoms are seen, says Jim Graham, soil microbiologist at the University of Florida's Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred.The finding has caused researchers and growers to hone their plan of attack against citrus greening."Now that we know this, we focus squarely on root health," he says.By the time symptoms are showing, the tree shows a minimum of 30 percent root loss and 30 percent fruit loss, Graham says.As if root damage caused by HLB weren’t enough, Florida growers still must contend with other prevalent root health issues—Phytophthora, parasitic nematodes and Diaprepes root weevil.In the past, these pests and pathogens were growers' main concerns, but now they pile on additional root damage, after HLB.
