Presented in this Eighth Annual Report is information about research conducted during Fiscal Year 1999-2000 supported by the Florida Citrus Production
Research Advisory Council operating under the Florida Citrus Production Research Funding Order. This research support program was established under the
Florida Marketing Act which enables Florida citrus growers to tax themselves for the purpose of providing funding to support needed research. Growers
approved this marketing order by referendum in 1991 and the Council began its work in 1992.

CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
December 31, 2000
Dear Florida Citrus Grower:
The Florida Citrus Production Research Advisory Council (FCPRAC) has completed its eighth year under the grower-approved Florida Citrus Production
Research Funding Order. The assessment to raise funds for citrus production research has been increased to ¾ of a cent per box for FY 2000/01. The Council
feels that a more concerted effort needs to be made on long term production problems, while maintaining research on short-term matters. This
grower-supported research can produce many future dividends while stimulating interest in more outside funding. Administrative costs were 3.7% this year,
due to the support of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Further savings are provided by the University of Florida - IFAS and
USDA - ARS because they have waived normal overhead costs on all our projects.
Collections for FY 1999/00 totaled
$1,170,493.
Funding for research projects was $1,026,235.
Funding was provided for 37 projects selected from 44 proposals.
This includes: 12 Entomology
9 Plant pathology
6 Management/Physiology
10 Plant improvement/Other
A thank you goes to your Council members (listed on previous page) for their many volunteer hours to make this program a success.
For the future, we continue to strive to coordinate the production of world-class citrus research for Florida. This coordination is vital as budget dollars are stretched and funding sources become increasingly limited. Thank you for your support and please make your research needs known to the Council so we can better serve the Florida citrus industry.
Andrew B. Pike
FCPRAC Chairman
A Message from the FCPRAC Scientific Coordinator
December 31, 2000
Because of the marketing order and the tax collected through it, research is now emerging more rapidly and scientists are working on problems of the highest priority for Florida's citrus growers. The 14-member Council assures that your tax dollars are spent wisely. As always, the Council and I welcome suggestions for improvement and ideas on how to make our efforts more productive.
This annual report lists last years's efforts for researchers funded with your box tax dollars through the end of June, 2000. A table which shows the history of
FCPRAC research funding from the inception of the program follows this page. We hope you will find time to study the report and find the information to be
of value.

FLORIDA CITRUS PRODUCTION OVERVIEW
The Council views the monies invested through this
program to be contributed by growers to enhance the
existing research effort. In order to assure growers that
their tax monies are in fact enhancing programs, the
Council monitors overall citrus production research
expenditures in relation to our funding. This section
provides a summary of information received from
IFAS and USDA-ARS regarding their research
expenditures. The Council has not verified this
information, and because we have not established firm
definitions of each aspect of the research, we may see
some adjustments in the future. Most of this
information has not been presented in this form before. The Council can only provide this information because of the candid disclosures of the research
institutions. We appreciate their openness and cooperation.
1. Council monies shown reflect actual expenditures by the institutions and do
not reflect balance of grants held in reserve.

of Florida through cooperative agreements.
