Citrus under Protective Screen (CUPS)
Citrus can be grown under protective screen structures for fresh-fruit production to exclude the Asian citrus psyllid —which is the vector of the causal pathogen of huanglongbing (HLB), or citrus greening disease—and thereby produce disease-free healthy fruit.
Greenhouse Production
production of crops in a greenhouse structure.
