Rootstocks
Much has changed within the Florida citrus industry since the discovery and spread of the disease huanglongbing (HLB). Rootstocks were not initially part of the discussion related to managing HLB, but that has changed, particularly given accumulating evidence that trees on various rootstocks may differ in the incidence or tolerance of the disease and may even show resistance with new hybrids. The Florida Citrus Rootstock Selection Guide, 5th Edition is a listing of rootstocks that offer potential improvements of many meaningful traits that appear essential to the future of the citrus industry.
