Citrus BMP Implementation in Florida's Gulf Citrus Production Area: Nutrients by Sanjay Shukla, Robert E. Rouse, S. S. Shukla, Edward A. Hanlon, Kenneth Portier, Thomas A. Obreza

“…In 2005 we conducted a survey in cooperation with Gulf Citrus Growers Association and FDACS to quantify the current level of Best Management Practices (BMP) implementation and to identify BMPs that might be adopted if a cost-share program was available. This publication describes the survey and discusses the findings regarding nutrient BMPs. …”
