The Regional Ministry of Agriculture has recently confirmed the detection of three cases of chlorosis in citrus fruits in the province of Castellón, a fact that has triggered health surveillance protocols in the sector. Chlorosis, associated with a virus that affects citrus fruits, can cause alterations in tree development and fruit quality, so early detection is key to preventing further spread.
Increased field inspections to detect chlorosis
In light of this situation, the regional government has announced an increase in field surveys and controls, with the aim of locating possible new outbreaks and taking preventive action. These inspections make it possible to assess the real extent of the problem and apply the necessary measures to protect citrus farms, minimizing risks for farmers and the sector as a whole.
The importance of vigilance
From the cooperative and agricultural perspective, these types of actions reinforce the importance of vigilance, information, and coordination between farmers, technicians, and administrations. Staying informed and following official recommendations is essential to preserving plant health and ensuring the continuity of citrus farming in the province.
