Seen something unusual? MAKE A REPORT
This week KVH held a meeting with pollen providers. Available pollen across the industry is around 50 percent lower than last year (which was not a good year for pollen). This could potentially cause problems with supply for 2014 if male vines are compromised due to Psa-V infection.
Growers are urged to have their early male flowers picked for pollen and if possible, support pollen providers by supplying flowers and labour. Contact your local pollen provider if you are able to help the industry build up supplies. Click here for a list of registered pollen providers on the KVH website.
All those intending to operate a pollen mill this season are required to register with KVH here.
KVH investigates reports of unusual symptoms to identify and manage any biosecurity risks.
