Tango harvest and packline

This week Beth Grafton-Cardwell's entomology research team harvested 288 3-year-old 'Tango' mandarin trees, and ran the fruit over the Lindcove fruit grading system. Her group is studying the long-term effects of reducing citrus leafminer densities with insecticides and what impact that has on the development of the trees and the number, size, color, and Brix of the fruit.
