Details of the Survey on Oxytetracycline Trunk Injections
Florida citrus growers looking to participate in the survey should do so before August 31st. The article maintains that “The survey is for research purposes.”
The article shared that the survey on oxytetracycline trunk injections contains:
- “Questions about grower citrus production practices.”
- “Grower perceptions about OTC trunk injections.”
- “Questions about programs they may be interested in participating in to help with OTC adoption.”
According to the article, “Responses will help measure the general willingness to adopt OTC trunk injection in citrus and provide the information needed to explore potential means of promoting implementation, such as cost-share programs. This information will help to improve the sustainability and profitability of citrus production.”
Researchers “ask that one survey be filled out per operation and that only those with knowledge of the farm’s day-to-day operations respond to the survey.” The article also assured that “All information provided will be kept confidential. No statistics that could be used to identify an operation will be published.
