To Passionfruit Growers, packers, shippers:

Several researchers in states with passionfruit are collaborating with Dr. Eric Stafne, Professor, Fruit Crops from Mississippi State University on a project to prioritize research and extension programs for the U.S. passionfruit industry. As a part of that effort, we need your help in completing a brief survey (SEE LINK BELOW). If you have questions about the survey please call (Eric Stafne (tel: 601-403-8939) or Jeff Wasielewski (tel: 305-248-3311 x.227 or 305-282-7526). Please fill-in or return the survey by May 31, 2022 (sooner is better). Thanks.  The survey is being done in preparation for a Passionfruit Meeting at the University of Florida

This survey will help all the researcher-extension faculty involved in this nationwide effort plan and apply for grants that could subsequently assist you with pest issues (insects, diseases), disorders, postharvest issues, and cultural practices.  

To register for the meeting (to be held at U of F's Tropical Research and Extension Center, Homestead, FL) please follow the link below.  It will be held both in person and by zoom.  More information will be forthcoming on the agenda
