Exhibiting at the Florida citrus expo, excited to spread the news about our new HLB-resistant rootstocks. #citrusexpo26 #CarriCea #FloridaAg
Thank you Trump EPA and Administrator Zeldin for approving Soilcea's CarriCea T1 citrus rootstock. Florida's great citrus nurseries are getting these trees ready for growers in a big way!
Over the past couple of decades, citrus greening has been devastating for America’s citrus growers, especially in Florida where citrus production is down 95% since the early 2000s, but the corner has finally been turned with exciting new technology that was just approved by the Trump EPA! I was in Florida yesterday with the state Farm Bureau to discuss the big news. tapinto.net/towns/pompano-be…

We thank the leadership of @POTUS @epaleezeldin @epa_fotouhi @epa @FloridaCongress for approving Soilcea’s CarriCea T1. This HLB-resistant citrus rootstock is the tool growers need to bring healthy, affordable, American-grown orange juice back to the breakfast table.

Today, the @EPA approved CarriCea T1 — a breakthrough rootstock that helps citrus trees defend themselves against greening disease, which has devastated Florida production.
This innovation supports our farmers, reduces reliance on conventional pesticide sprays, and helps protect American orange juice and fresh citrus.

We need the leadership of @POTUS @SecRollins @epaleezeldin to expedite approval of the CarriCea T1 to get an HLB-resistant citrus rootstock into growers’ hands and bring healthy, affordable, American-grown orange juice back to the breakfast table.

Administrator @epaleezeldin: Citrus growers urge @EPA to complete its review of emerging citrus rootstocks. Getting this approval across the finish line will enable the planting of disease-tolerant trees and help stabilize the U.S. citrus industry. Your support is appreciated!
Excited to have over 300,000 of Soilcea's new disease-resistant citrus trees ordered through the CRAFT program!

HUGE step forward for Florida citrus! 🍊
Yesterday, we planted 300 of our new citrus trees for resistance against the devastating Huanglongbing (HLB) disease. These trees are the key to bringing back Florida citrus. #FloridaAgriculture
We are honored to have made it as a finalist for the 13th Annual GrowFL Companies to Watch out of over 550 nominations. This award celebrates high performance second-stage companies that demonstrate excellent potential for future growth and innovative business strategies.
We are excited to be awarded a USDA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant with the goal to develop non-GMO, HLB-resistant citrus trees
