Thanks to everyone who reported suspected citrus disease on USDA’s updated Save Our Citrus online Report It form. We have now received submissions from every citrus-producing state in the country. Using this new reporting form, site visitors can compare their own citrus plants to photos of four very serious foreign citrus diseases. If they believe their citrus is sick with citrus greening, citrus canker, sweet orange scab, or citrus black spot, they can submit a report and upload a photo in seconds.
With the rapid spread of citrus diseases, APHIS realized the need for eyes on the ground, in every backyard, and wherever citrus is grown. Residents are the first line of defense in stopping the devastation caused by citrus diseases.
