São Paulo's citrus industry is the most advanced in the world in terms of productivity, fruit and orange juice quality, research and development, technology transfer and sustainability. The productive strength of this important agribusiness chain in São Paulo results in significant economic, social and environmental values. However, the competitiveness and economic, social and environment…
The equipment GC-MS/MS approved by Fapesp as a multi-user equipment is a gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. The gas chromatography (GC) is ideal for applications where is necessary to separate mixtures with high vapor pressure molecules, e.g. volatiles compounds. The injection of these compounds into the GC is possible both in the gas phase and dil…
Huanglongbing (HLB), a disease mainly associated with the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, is present in all citrus production areas of Sao Paulo State. The disease causes severe sweet orange yield losses and fruit quality damages and endangers the sustainability and competitiveness of this important agribusiness genera…
The citrus industry contributes with the volume of fruits produced in Brazilian, obtained with high productivity of orchards, a result of the adoption of technologies such as planting density, fertilization and irrigation. However, the incidence of phytosanitary problems that affect citrus farming has caused the increase of fruit production costs, which leads to a decrease in the sector's…

Citrus cultural practices such as planting spacing, pruning and use of canopy and rootstock combinations can affect the primary dispersal of citrus psyllid into the orchard and the primary inoculation of huanglongbing bacteria. The citrus flushing dynamic is directly influenced by these practices which, consequently, have potential use in the management of this disease. This work plan aim…
