New Psa seasonal management guide

The Psa-V Seasonal Management Wall Chart 2022-23 is out now and available to view or download from the KVH website. A printed A2 poster version will also be included in your August Zespri Kiwiflier.

The wall chart outlines how you can use cultural methods and a protective spray programme year-round to reduce risk on your orchard, including regular monitoring, removing infected material, girdling, and seasonal spray plans.

A key feature of the wall chart is the KVH Recommended Product List, which sets out the upcoming seasons approved products for protection against Psa, their year-round application rates, re-application timings, and permitted use periods.

If you receive the new weather and disease daily email reports, you’ll see we’ve included a direct link to the wall chart, so that you can quickly and easily access it when making decisions about management actions based on the reports designated potential for Psa infection and spread. You can sign up for the daily reports via your KVH Weather & Disease Portal login or contact us with any questions at [email protected].

Any changes or updates made to the chart and product list during the 2022-23 season will be made to the online version and will be notified via the KVH Bulletin.

If you would like us to send you further printed copies of the new wall chart, please email KVH at [email protected].
