This project aims at the development of phytotechnical processes and citrus varieties to contribute to the management of HLB based on experiments installed at the FCC in an area where HLB occurs. Several scion/rootstock combinations and five citrus seedling planting systems and intercropping with other species will be selected for production, in addition to the occurrence of Diaphorina citri and the incidence of HLB.
