The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA/APHIS) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) are expanding the quarantine for sweet orange scab (SOS) in Orange County, California, due to a detection in a residential property. This expansion does not affect commercial citrus.
