Citrus Greening Diseases Threaten This Year's Oranges

Employee Joseph Hayes checks the color of a batch of oranges he has placed for sale at Schnucks Markets in Ladue, Missouri on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. The U.S. Department of Agriculture warned orange growers may see a low crop yield this year because of the Citrus Greening Diseases. Infected trees bear fruit that are smaller, higher in acidity and lower in sugar. Officials say this years crop could be one of the worst seasons since World War II. Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI
