This month we celebrate Dr Stuart Davis, whose immense industry impact was recently recognised with a Horticulture New Zealand life member award. We share a video case study detailing an integrated pest management programme developed for passionvine hopper, helping to significantly reduce losses for kiwifruit growers.
In other project updates, we have details of residue and efficacy trials planned for this season, findings from biocontrol trials for thrips in strawberries, and a HSNO containment approval granted for our biopesticide regulatory project.
Registrations are open for the ALT soilborne disease webinars, and later this month we look forward to seeing you at our interactive stand at the Horticulture Conference. We also have a crop protection survey underway – please complete it online or at the conference, for a chance to win a $200 voucher from PPG Wrightson/Fruitfed Supplies.
