Current work at the center reflects research needs in citrus which includes developing new rootstocks and scions and evaluating their compatibility, developing seedless varieties, responding to food safety issues, and developing programs for managing citrus pests.
The extension programs at Lindcove REC communicate the results of the research to citrus clientele as well as the general public. Each year Lincove hosts numerous meetings and field day events conducted by farm advisors and researchers to educate growers about the latest techniques in citriculture.
