Symposium: Caribbean Fruit Fly - '91: Caribbean Fruit Fly-Free Zone Certification Protocol in Florida (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Abstract
The Caribbean Fruit Fly Protocol is a body of regulations under which fresh Florida citrus fruit may be certified free of Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) and shipped to citrus producing areas of the world. Presently, Japan, Bermuda, and the states of California, Hawaii, and Texas have accepted this method of certification. The certification is based on the fruit coming from specific A. suspensa controlled areas ("designated areas"). For the 1990-91 growing season, 8.8 million boxes of citrus were certified fly-free from groves totalling 114,200 acres.Downloads
