UF Scientists Combat Citrus Greening Disease

University of Florida scientists are uniting at the new Crop Transformation Center (CTC) to combat pests and diseases threatening Florida’s vital agricultural crops. The CTC aims to provide farmers with advanced solutions to protect the state's agricultural industry.

The center's initial focus will be on citrus greening, a devastating disease that has severely impacted Florida's citrus groves. After addressing this critical issue, scientists plan to tackle other crop diseases.

This collaborative effort brings together researchers to develop cutting-edge technologies and strategies. Their work at the CTC seeks to safeguard the future of Florida's agriculture, ensuring the continued health and productivity of local farms.
