Forum on Cultural Practices to Keep HLB-Infected Trees Productive November 20, 2017
9:30 am	Welcome, Introductions, and Overview of Discussion Agenda Jacqueline Fletcher, Committee, Forum Attendees
At this forum, Florida citrus growers will discuss the cultural practices they currently employ in their groves to keep HLB-infected trees productive. The growers were asked to address the following questions:
	Can you describe how you are taking care of HLB-infected trees? About how much yield increase (if any) have you seen since employing your current practices? Are you also spraying for ACP/participating in a CHMA? How much of your current grove practices are based on research results generated by the HLB research community? What current HLB management strategies that resulted from HLB research community are you employing in your groves and why did you choose to employ them?
