Knowing the latest incursion of the disease and its vector, there is a need for us to be aware on the calamansi industry scenario in terms of disease incidence, to formulate solutions that may help protect and save the calamansi production particularly in Oriental Mindoro to maintain its name as "Calamansi King".
