RIVERSIDE, Calif. Recent developments in postharvest disease control will be highlighted at the 35th annual Citrus Postharvest Pest Control conference sponsored by the University of California, Riverside Extension April 23 and 24 in Santa Barbara.

Seminar sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, and 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 24, at the Hyatt Santa Barbara.

This year's conference will include a large segment on food safety as well as an update on research being conducted in Florida regarding the impact of Huanglongbing (HLB) on citrus juice quality.

"It's important for California producers to see how HLB impacts juice quality and what impacts we can expect on our fresh fruit industry if HLB begins to affect commercial citrus groves in California," said conference coordinator Mary Lu Arpaia, Cooperative Extension Subtropical Horticulturalist and a professor in UC Riverside's Department of Botany and Plant Sciences.

HLB is the biggest threat to California's citrus industry. The disease is lethal and currently there is no cure once the tree becomes infected, Arpaia said.

The two-day conference is designed for researchers, industry professionals and service company representatives and also features lectures on domestic and international pesticide legislation and regulation, new fungicide resistance, growth regulators and new concepts of fruit packing.

Fee is $399 (waived for reporters covering the conference) and includes continental breakfast both days, lunch and reception on Tuesday, parking fees and materials.

Conference to highlight latest in postharvest pest control

Chief Creative Officer outlines latest consumer outdoor trends on the release of companys 2013 Outdoor Living catalog.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 17, 2013

We use our outdoor spaces for so muchreading, relaxing, throwing a party, taking a snooze, says Swanson. In summarizing the major themes in outdoor design, Swanson begins with the companys core expertise. Increasingly, people are envisioning the outdoors as a room like any otheran extension of their indoor space. Every good room begins with lighting.

Effective outdoor lighting can increase safety while adding style and depth to the yard. For consumers looking to cut back on their monthly energy costs, LED landscape lighting is an energy efficient way to add a rich, layered look to a property. Landscape light kits in particular offer an easy, all-in-one way for homeowners to get started. For foot paths and walkways, path lights add safety. Many are solar powered, and can be simply staked to or placed on the ground for installation.

One particular topic popular among urban planners and landscape architects is dark sky lighting for the home and garden, says Swanson. Created in response to a growing movement to reduce light pollution in the nighttime sky, dark sky wall lights often reflect downward or against the wall, adding a stylish addition to the exterior without adding glare to the sky above.

Lighting, however, is only part of the outdoor equation. Lamps Plus carries a line of furniture and more to complete the outdoor space. Swanson explains, From modern wicker chairs to Adirondack style loungers, its possible to find designer-savvy, comfortable and durable outdoor furniture these days. Combined with textile accents, these designs help to soften your outdoor space. With features like UV protection and anti-bacterial fibers, outdoor rugs and pillows are bringing bright colors and patterns to the deck and poolside.

Now that your outdoor space is comfortable and ready to go, invite guests over, continues Swanson. This year were seeing a lot of interest in outdoor entertaining. You can use playful string party lights or colorful candle lanterns to add ambience to your festive occasion. If youll be cooking after dark, we offer long-lasting battery powered LED BBQ lights.

Still looking for more outdoor decorating projects after the guests have gone home? Swanson offers a final relaxation tip for insatiable DIYers: Enjoy a fountain or an outdoor ceiling fan. The sound of running water or a nice breeze is soothing enough to slow down even the most zealous homeowner. When shopping for outdoor ceiling fans, consumers will note they are UL Listed for either damp or wet locationsmeaning theyre suitable for installation in either covered porches or directly outdoors, respectively. Swanson concludes, Install the appropriate fan or fountain, sit back and enjoy the cool, calm comfort of your great outdoors.
