Technical Abstract: Advanced Production Systems (APS) and Open Hydroponic Systems (OHS) are proposed strategies for citrus production that could increase early production and sustain production at higher levels through perhaps the first 15 years of grove life. Higher tree densities, automated irrigation, and intensive nutrient management will increase per acre establishment and annual cultural care costs. Estimated cost increases are based on the APS/OHS specifications outlined in a companion paper, Citrus Production Systems to Survive Greening – Horticultural Practices. This paper utilizes net present value (NPV) as a framework to evaluate the costs and benefits of AP/OH systems. Per acre yields must increase sufficiently to cover establishment costs. Sufficiently increasing yields within the first 5 to 7 years of a new grove could make it more likely that an AP/OH system will return positive profits over a wider range of fruit prices.
