BMSB impacts on kiwifruit in Italy

A new video is available showing the impacts of Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) on gold kiwifruit in Italy.

The video helps us gain a better understanding of what Italian growers are facing and provides a practical on-orchard view of the severe damage this pest can do. BMSB is on the Kiwifruit's Most Unwanted list and a strong focus of KVH, especially with the high-risk season upon us.

Being on the lookout, knowing what to look for and how to report the bug is key - email KVH if you, your family or friends would like more of our handy fridge magnets to help identify this pest.

The video was shown at the BMSB grower meeting with international expert Dr Tracey Leskey, early last week. Read more about the meeting and industry preparedness for BMSB here.
