Citrus FMS Orchard Election

Purpose   #

This document provides instruction on: 

How citrus growers and users on PhytClean can implement the decision to have citrus orchards treated as a ‘’C’’ orchard under the rules outlined in the Citrus FCM Management System (FMS) 

Please note the following before you begin:  

• Warning! Once you have updated the status of an orchard to “C’’ then there is no possibility of having this reversed. It is simply too complicated to reverse the decision given the number of other factors that immediately impact the system when an orchard is categorized as a C-orchard. 
• One of the implications of electing ‘’C’’ is that there is no possibility of shipping fruit under “A’’ or “B’’ shipping codes. 
• Please be very careful to select the correct orchard when making these changes! It is recommended you do one orchard at a time. 
• Once an orchard is categorized as a “C’’ orchard it is removed from the grid and you will no longer be able to view it under this Control point.
