   The news will shift UF's research priorities, said Jimmy Cheek, UF senior vice president for agriculture and natural resources.
   
   "Up until now, we've had canker research proceeding along several tracks, one oriented toward eradication, others focused on detection, prevention and management practices," Cheek said."Since eradication will no longer be the strategy, we need to make sure we're putting our resources where they'll do the most good."
   
   Some existing UF canker programs will be enhanced, new options will be explored and time lines will be accelerated, he said.
   
   "We are working closely with growers, as well as state and federal regulatory officials, to make sure their needs are addressed appropriately," Cheek said."Our overall goal is minimizing the impact canker and other diseases have on Florida's citrus industry."
   
   UF extension faculty in citrus-producing counties will play a key role in the effort by communicating regularly with growers to obtain feedback and discuss new research developments, he said.
