A new guide from KVH that has been designed to help growers strengthen biosecurity plans has been flying off the shelves since we launched it at Fieldays.

On-orchard biosecurity is the responsibility of every person working on or visiting an orchard. High-profile pest and disease introductions over the last decade, including Psa, are reminders we must always be biosecurity aware.

The 5 step on-orchard biosecurity guidelines are a set of measures designed to protect a property from the entry and spread of pests and diseases and have been developed to provide guidance, help identify risks, and how to address them.

Use the guidelines to develop your orchard biosecurity plan, identify and prioritise biosecurity practices that are relevant to your orchard/property and that can be implemented every day.

The guide is free from KVH – pick one up when you see us at meetings and events, view a copy online or email us for a posted copy.
