You seem to be copying information from an unknown source(s) but still do not seem to entirely understand what it means., i.e., meaningless words without any real explanation. The University has had great luck in handling many issues and diseases, but that takes a great deal of time as far as prevention goes.
What are the other Florida authorities that you have failed to mention? The main source -- the University of Florida/IFAS is virtually still the only genuine source to go by. They are more than "well informed;" they are experts!
Why are you specifically only bringing up the lethal bronze disease when there are many diseases that are prone to specific plants and/or palms? If you are bringing that up you should have mentioned that the disease is affecting the state tree -- the Sabal palm (but you didn't). I guess you failed to read about the meat and potatoes of the disease and only copied what you
thought was meaningful.
