County aids in effort to eradicate citrus pest
Sarasota County releases the parasitic wasp Prospaltella lahorensis imported from Pakistan as part of a statewide program to combat citrus whitefly. Nine infested gardenias are distributed across the county to homeowners who agree not to spray for the rest of 1979. The program, run by the Sarasota County Extension Service with Florida FDACS and IFAS, aims to slow whitefly populations and reduce reliance on chemical sprays.
