Citrus Greening, or Huanglongbing (HLB), is the most important citrus plant disease worldwide. Since 2011, the Citrus Greening FiBL Research Program, funded by the Coop Sustainability Fund, has been conducting several research activities with partners from Mexico to develop and test different interventions to mitigate and control Citrus Greening in organic production.
To disseminate and exchange on the current best practices related to HLB treatment, FiBL invites you to the "International webinar on citrus greening: experiences and lessons learned in the prevention and control of the disease and its vector in organic citrus production."
The event will take place online (via Zoom) on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 4 PM (CET).
The webinar will be hosted in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish and Italian. If you can’t make it to the live event, the webinar recording will be available upon the broadcast date.

About the project
The key goals of the Citrus Greening FiBL Research Program are to maximize the supply and quality of organic orange juice for export and to develop practical, viable solutions for organic citrus producers to manage and control HLB and its vector through an integrated approach. As part of its efforts to disseminate prevention and control measures for HLB, FiBL recently published a video on alternate cutting to minimize the spread of Diaphorina citri, one of the main vectors of transmission of Citrus Greening. You can watch the video below.
