The annual Kiwiberry Conference was held last week, with KVH presenting on emerging risks to the sector, as well as highlighting some of the activities KVH is doing to manage these risks as the sector’s GIA signatory. The importance of monitoring and reporting unusual symptoms was also emphasised. KiwiBerry has been regarded as a ‘hardy’ variety, however symptoms similar to Psa have been observed this spring. KVH is working with growers that have reported symptoms to determine the cause and provide best practice advice to minimise the spread and impacts to their orchard. KVH encourages all kiwifruit and kiwiberry growers to monitor their orchards and report any unusual symptoms to 0800 665 825.
