"Elephant's Foot," a Basal Stem Disorder in Greenhouse-Grown Bell Peppers by Elio Jovicich, Daniel J. Cantliffe

“… Under certain conditions, vegetable greenhouse crops can develop physiological disorders that predispose plants to diseases that decrease plant growth, fruit yield, and fruit quality. One plant disorder in bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is the “Elephant's Foot,” which is characterized by the presence of epidermal injuries on a swollen stem region developed at the base of the plant stem. …”

Increasing Efficiency and Reducing Costs of Citrus Nutritional Programs by Mongi Zekri, Thomas Obreza, Arnold Schumann

“… To maintain a viable citrus industry, Florida growers must consistently produce large, high quality, economic fruit crops from year to year. Efficiently producing maximum yields of high quality fruit is difficult without an understanding of soils and nutrient requirements of bearing citrus trees. …”

A Threshold for Timing Applications of IGRs to Manage the Silverleaf Whitefly and Irregular Ripening on Tomato by David J. Schuster

“…Feeding, primarily by nymphs, has been associated with an irregular ripening (IRR) disorder of fruit (Schuster et al. 1990, Schuster 2002). The disorder is characterized externally by inhibited or incomplete ripening of longitudinal sections of fruit and internally by an increase in the amount of white tissue. …”

Use of Gibberellic Acid to Improve Health and Productivity of HLB-Affected ‘Valencia’ Trees by Tripti Vashisth

“…Although GA treatment cannot eradicate the pathogen that causes HLB in affected citrus trees, the current GA application recommendation can provide growers an alternative remedy to alleviate HLB symptoms and ameliorate the production issues that are associated with the disease, including yield decline, reduced fruit size, increased preharvest fruit drop, and rapid tree health decline, until a cure for HLB or complete HLB-resistant cultivars can be developed. …”

Olives for Your Florida Landscape by Mack Thetford, Jennifer L. Gillett-Kaufman, Michael J. Mulvaney

“… Olives have great potential as a landscape ornamental and may also provide opportunities for home fruit production. However, as a relatively new commercial crop to Florida, the cultural requirements of these trees are not completely known and research is ongoing to understand how to manage them for plant health and fruit yield as well as to make recommendations on varietal selections best suited to the southeastern region of the United States. …”
