United States
Friday 17 January 2003
Tristeza is propagating through Florida's citrus fruit orchards. Indeed, this disease that causes a progressive deterioration of the trees already affected South American countries (except Chili) where 20 million of orange trees were cut in Brazil, for instance. The production of pomelos in Florida will then decrease and exports may drop by 10% at least.
