FUNDECITRUSFUNDO DE DEFESA DA CITRICULTURA

Dear Citrus Community,

We are pleased to invite you to join the upcoming Interna�onal Citrus Congress that will be held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, from September 18�� to 23��! The year 2016 has been greatly expected a�er Agadir 2004, and then Wuhan 2008, when we offered our homeland to host the conference. Since then, prepara�ons have been in course to meet the outstanding work always done by the Interna�onal Society of Citriculture, and we hope to offer a memorable edi�on of this event to all delegates this year!

The city of Foz do Iguaçu is an appropriated place to house the conference mostly because of its infrastructure, reasonable costs, and easiness to be reached. Located on the border of Brazil, Argen�na and Paraguay, Foz do Iguaçu is well known for nearby natural and man-made wonders, serving as cultural reference for the en�re Southern Cone of the America con�nent. The airport is located close to major hotels and resorts, and among those the Mabu Thermas & Resort was the venue of our choice. Its conven�on center is comfortable and adequate for the Congress requirements, and in addi�on, delegates might find other hotels in the vicinity.

Citrus was introduced in Brazil by the first Portuguese se�lers s�ll in the XVI century, and many of its species adapted to the new land that they look truly na�ve even in Na�onal Parks and in many landscapes, such as vast pastures and woods. Therea�er, expor�ng business was already shipping fresh fruits to Europe by the end of the XIX century. The orange juice processing ac�vity started to flourish in the heart of São Paulo State, in the 1960s,

with American investments on the first plant in Araraquara city. Then, the local industry has grown up tremendously and became the worldwide leadership in the segment on the following decades. The combina�on of high quality orange juice and efficient produc�on systems has propelled the whole Brazilian citrus industry. However, nowadays, there are new challenges to be faced and the ICC 2016 will debate those topics.

Under the theme “Sustainable Citriculture: the role of applied knowledge” the Congress has been constructed using five major pillars for the overall success of the program: presence of worldwide recognized keynote speakers talking on important topics for the citrus community; parallel plenary sec�ons aiming to cover the state of the art of 18 scien�fic fields; up to dated workshops with rewarded coordinators to debate hot topics and industry perspec�ves; dedicated pre- and post-citrus tours in partnership with citrus consultants and other organiza�ons, which will allow in-depth visits to different citrus produc�on systems and reali�es in Brazil and in Argen�na; and parallel events dedicated to specific issues on citrus management and others.

Finally, it is worthy to acknowledge that we have counted on significant support from the Brazilian citrus industry and also from abroad. Not only by sponsoring major costs of the conference but also offering assistance on the whole program, tours, social ac�vi�es and others. Thank you all! From the above, we wish you to book your flying �ckets or plan your favorable driving routes right away to the ICC 2016.

Very best regards,

Dr. Eduardo Fermino Carlos (IAPAR)Co-chairLondrina, PR, Brazilefcarlos@iapar.br

CONGRESS INFORMATION

The ICC is an event of the Interna�onal Society of Citriculture (ISC) and in 2016 will be organized by Ins�tuto Agronômico (IAC), from its Sylvio Moreira Citrus Research Center (CCSM) and Ins�tuto Agronômico do Paraná (IAPAR), which are two tradi�onal ins�tu�ons on agricultural and technological sciences in Brazil. Par�cipants of the ICC 2016 will congregate at Foz do Iguaçu, PR, a place that offers both excellent facili�es and scenic beau�es in its surroundings allowing the par�cipants to enjoy the scien�fic event and the social opportuni�es of this remarkable Congress.

The North of Paraná State comprehends two dis�nct citrus growing areas. The Northwestern lands were formed by sedimenta�on materials and are now mainly covered by sandy soils. Major orange juice processors are based there. Toward Northeastern Paraná we found very fer�le clay soils and varia�on in al�tudes, raising opportuni�es not only to juice processing but also to fresh fruit markets.

ABSTRACT MODEL

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MANDARINS AND TANGORS TO CITRUS LEPROSIS UNDER GREENHOUSE CONDITIONS

1 1 2 1 1Nunes MA , Pereira JA , Freitas-Astúa J , Novelli VM & Bastianel M1 2Instituto Agronômico (CCSM-IAC), Cordeirópolis, SP, Brazil; Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa

Agropecuária (EMBRAPA), Cruz das Almas, BA, Brazil. E-mail: mandreian@yahoo.com.br

Citrus leprosis is an important disease affecting sweet oranges in Brazil, and almost all of the studies

performed to date have included only sweet oranges. The disease is caused by Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-

C), which infects several citrus and non-citrus host plants, and is transmitted by Brevipalpus phoenicis, a

cosmopolitan and polyphagous mite. Few studies are available on the response of other citrus genotypes,

such as mandarins and their hybrids, to leprosis. In this work, 56 mandarin (Citrus reticulata) and five tangor

(C. reticulata x C. sinensis) genotypes from the Citrus Active Germplasm Collection of Centro Apta Citros

Sylvio Moreira (BAG Citros IAC) were assessed for their response to leprosis using a score scale. Five reps

of each genotype were infested with viruliferous mites maintained on infected sweet orange fruits. Among

the genotypes tested, only Shikai mandarin (access CN 551) and Dieberger 5 (access CV 456) did not

present any symptoms. Small-fruited 627 mandarin (access CN561) was the most susceptible genotype

evaluated, with the highest average score (3.2). The average general score to all genotypes was 1.25. The

results demonstrated that some mandarins and tangors are resistant to leprosis, as widely reported in the

literature. However, most genotypes exhibit differential levels of susceptibility to the virus. Keywords: orange, mandarin, leprosis.

Financial support: Fapesp, CNPq and Embrapa.

POSTERS

Posters should be prepared in a size of 90 cm wide x 120 cm high, printed and taken to the congress by delegates;

Posters will be numbered and grouped according to scien�fic sessions, and should have a head part containing the �tle, author name(s), ins�tu�on, addresses and the text;

During the poster sessions the author will be requested to be present at the poster stand for discussions with viewers;

Posters can be mounted from 7:30 to 8:00 on the day of session, and removed a�er 19:00 of the same day. Staff in the poster room will guide you and provide all needed informa�on.

The Real (BRL/R$) is the official currency of Brazil. However, the region of Foz do Iguaçu has a special rela�onship with the local financial transac�ons, tourism and proximity with Paraguay and Argen�na bring to the everyday of the city also the acceptance of Argen�ne Peso (ARS/$), the Guaraní (PYG/₲) and US dollar (USD/US$).

Many commercial-tourist establishments of Foz do Iguaçu accept any of the currencies, and even display in account values in the prices of each (but remember that some companies are not used to receiving in other currencies). In Puerto Iguazú (Argen�na), some establishments do not accept payments that are not made in Argen�ne pesos and it is suggested that the exchanges are made in the official currency exchanges.

In Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), most of the shops accept payment in Reais or Dollars. Remember that payments made on credit cards should be made with cau�on since due to exchange final price may differ from those nego�ated at the �me of purchase, always consult a guide to know the stores indicated by the same.

It is also important to know that the price of the US dollar can vary widely in the region, especially if you go shopping in Ciudad del Este stores. If you want to pay in Reais, check the value of the currency before buying to have an es�mate, since many stores prac�ce a specific price and change it during the day. And, also about the US dollar, there are series of notes that are not accepted in the region because of the amount of false banknotes that have circulated in recent years.

The official exchange rate of US$ to Real on March 5, 2016 is R$ 4,01 (subject to fluctua�on).
