Book excerpt: Citrus greening, a disease that reduces yield, compromises the flavor, color, and size of citrus fruit and eventually kills the citrus tree, is now present in all 34 Floridian citrus-producing counties. Caused by an insect-spread bacterial infection, the disease reduced citrus production in 2008 by several percent and continues to spread, threatening the existence of Florida's $9.3 billion citrus industry. A successful citrus greening response will focus on earlier detection of diseased trees, so that these sources of new infections can be removed more quickly, and on new methods to control the insects that carry the bacteria. In the longerterm, technologies such as genomics could be used to develop new citrus strains that are resistant to both the bacteria and the insect.

Book excerpt: Prior to orange juice concentrate, Florida citrus was already an industrialized agricultural sector. This thesis explores the early-20th-century Florida citrus industry and demonstrates that contemporary farming practices were influential in advancing how citrus was produced, processed, worked, marketed, and regulated in early-20th-century Florida. Restarted after devastating freezes in 1894-1895, resolute Florida growers rebuilt their groves into marvels of large-scale citrus fruit production. Continuing a legacy in experimental crossbreeding, improved varieties of citrus were developed to lengthen the season and markets. Advocated by nurserymen and university educators, biological innovation helped the citrus thrive in the 1910s and 1920s from adverse weather effects, pests, and diseases. Scientists were agents of modernization whose research influenced its industrialization. With the inclusion of machines in the processing of citrus, technological innovation materialized significantly in Florida's packinghouses by the 1930s. These changes affected the lives of agricultural workers and small growers. Whether by prejudice or by resisting collective efforts, big growers gained power and influence in the industry, Their power concentrated into the Florida Citrus Codes and Florida Citrus Commission in 1935, which effectively allowed large-scale growers to direct the industry's development into the rest of the 20th century. In all, this reexamination into Florida citrus exemplifies the remaking of this industry into a modern agricultural system as well as the gradualism of southern agricultural modernization in early-20th-century America.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The rising cost of labor facing the Florida citrus industry has been a major force limiting its global competitiveness. One potential strategy for Florida citrus to increase its competitiveness is to implement measures that lower production costs. Replacing the current hand harvest system with mechanical harvesters may significantly change the structure of the processed citrus industry. While potentially eliminating labor shortages and variability, the adoption of mechanical harvesting will present new hurdles for the industry. Coordination issues between orange growers and processors arise due to changes in the traditional harvesting and processing procedures that have taken place since the invention of frozen concentrate orange juice. For current mechanical harvesting technology to be economically viable, the timing of harvest and processing may need to be altered. Such changes in the way business is conducted alter the incentive structure and motivational forces driving industry players. This research analyzes necessary conditions for growers and processors to reach a binding, sustainable agreement on the adoption of mechanically harvesting citrus. Such a solution must allow both the growers and the processors to be at least as well off, with one party made better off, as compared to operating under the current hand harvesting system.

Book excerpt: "This concise, comprehensive guide combines the practical aspects of day-to-day citrus production with its underlying horticultural principles in a clear, easy-to-read style. Citrus Growing in Florida makes citrus cultivation accessible to commercial growers, students, and home gardeners. The book covers planting, production, grove management, fertilization, spraying, and harvesting. For students of horticulture, it discusses the history of the crop, its varieties, propagation, and areas of production. For the homeowner, it provides practical advice on growing everything from tart lemons and tangy limes to the sweet oranges and thick juicy grapefruit that define the flavor of Florida. Changes in the Florida citrus industry since publication of the third edition in 1990 make this revised work indispensable. Expanded and updated, this edition addresses new regulations, invasions from exotic insects and diseases, and increasing foreign competition. The appendix provides detailed information on citrus costs of production in various areas of the state. New chapters deal with global production, methods of marketing and selling fruit, and the importance of fruit quality for success in local and worldwide markets."--Publisher description.
