International Research Conference on Huanglongbing Coming to Riverside in March 2024

The International Research Conference on Huanglongbing (IRCHLB) will be held at the Riverside Convention Center in Riverside, California, USA starting on March 26, 2024, and ending March 29, 2024. This conference is being produced by the California Citrus Research Board, with the support and guidance of the citrus industry and the Steering and Program Committees.

IRCHLB VII will bring together diverse international researchers and perspectives. Previous IRCHLB have presented a wide range of research, much of which is basic in nature. Now, some of these discoveries are being implemented or tried at the field level. Thus, the theme of IRCHLB is “Transitioning Research to Field Reality”. The conference will feature invited keynote speakers presenting information on HLB with an international perspective. A wide range of topics will be presented in talks and posters. Specific topic areas include the causal organisms, their vectors, and their plant hosts, interactions between these, and the consequences of HLB infection. In addition, research on cultural control and disease management technologies will be presented. The information will be of interest to well-informed growers as well as scientists.
