down to only 25 this year from over 100 in the 1980s. hurricanes and a december freeze both wiped out groves, which take about four years to recover before harvest, and consumer consumption is down for oj, while land development is up, which helps accelerate the decline. this season, however, could be a turning point. >> i think that our production is going to be somewhat flat, but that's actually a victory. >> reporter: a victory shared by university of florida researchers because science has slowed the decline. they are among many scientists who study what makes citrus trees more tolerant to greenin. >> they're tolerant. so they support the bacterial growth inside of them without dying. >> reporter: you think there is hope? >> absolutely. i know there is hope. >> reporter: growers need the therapies to work with their livelihood at stake. cristian benavides, cbs news,
