| Summary: | In The Carcagente-Alcira (Valencia) area, some citrus trees began to decline shortly after the 1956 heavy frost that followed two years of exceptional rains.

Another explanation was that the decline was due to tristeza, although this disease had not previously been observed in Spain. To test the latter possibility, a number of the declining trees were indexed by budding into Mexican lime [Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swing.] seedlings. |
