The Haunglongbing (HLB) bacterial disease has been found in most citrus growing areas of the world. The disease is severe, resulting in bitter, inedible, misshapen fruit. Aggressive psyllid control and balanced nutrition are ways to control the disease. Work done by the University of Florida has shown that there were significant reductions in leaf mottling, whole leaf chlorosis, rosette formation, Zn island greening, veinal chlorosis and vein corking as well as larger leaf sizes with balanced fertilizer applications vs. no fertilizer applications.
