Korea - Notice of Extension for Second Copper Spray

Based on the rains and the difficulty in meeting the February 4th deadline, USDA/APHIS officials agreed to extend the deadline for the second spray until February 20th for all blocks in the Korean orange export program. Based on the disease pressure showing up in the tested fruit, we encourage everyone to apply the sprays as early as possible but no later than Feb 20. ALL ORANGE SHIPMENTS TO KOREA AFTER FEB 20TH MUST HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH THE SECOND COPPER-ZINC-LIME SPRAY BY FEB 20, 2008.
