In addition, it will examine some of the present and future possibilities about the value of the honey bee to this valuable crop.

This publication describes the survey and discusses the findings regarding water, sediment, and aquatic weed BMPs.

The survey questionnaire included five major BMP categories: water volume, sediment control, aquatic plant control, pesticide use, and nutrients. This publication describes the survey and discusses the findings regarding nutrient BMPs. The target audience for this publication is citrus growers; allied industry, local, state, and federal agencies; and parties interested in nutrients and water quality in the southwest Florida region.

One reality of growing citrus in Florida flatwoods areas is that nearly every citrus grower will sooner or later experience aquatic weed control problems. Maintaining a balance in the aquatic system while sustaining crop success and avoiding loss of income can be a challenge. Over-abundant aquatic weed growth can also lower drainage rates following heavy rains, resulting in severe root pruning, increased disease incidence, and fruit drop. Therefore management of aquatic vegetation species should be an essential component of the overall water management strategy for most Flatwoods citrus groves.

The disease can adversely affect the yield and milling quality of the grain. Under environmental conditions conducive to disease, yield loss estimates range from 16 to 40 percent in Florida. This document summarizes brown spot.

Infections have been found in several families of fish including the Cichlidae (tilapia), Cyprinidae (danios), Cyprinodontidae (flagfish), and Poecilidae (mosquitofish, swordtails, mollies, platies).
