Seen something unusual? MAKE A REPORT
A survey was undertaken across 12 orchards in the North Island to gain a greater understanding of Neonectria microconidia symptomology and whether Neonectria-like symptoms could be distinguished from other Kiwifruit Trunk Disease (KTD) symptoms.
This research highlighted that there was little to no differences that could help distinguish between KTD organisms based on symptomology only. This highlights that we need to consider KTDs on a more general level than just the organism itself.
