Editor’s Pick: Plant
Health Progress
Asiatic
citrus canker was under an extensive eradication program
in south Florida when Hurricane Wilma crossed the state
in 2005. Tim Gottwald and Michael Irey used a predictive
model to estimate the distance the pathogen was
disseminated beyond the eradication zone. Their
findings, in part, resulted in a change in federal
and state regulations toward eradication of the pathogen
in Florida citrus.
