DOOD TIMING: It can lead to more efficiency and lower production costs.

摘要

Good timing may (pick one): a) Put more money in a citrus grower's pocket b) Keep some money from leaving a grower's pocket c) Both of the above, if the timing is very good. The answer would probably be C, based on presentations during five MaximizingEfficiencies while Minimizing Production Costs seminars held around Florida's citrus belt in October. Growers who properly time practices such as spraying, fertilizing, cold protection and irrigation properly are likely to both increase efficiency and minimize production costs. That was part of the message delivered by most of the six citrus extension agents who spoke.
