Continuing the battle on kiwifruit vine disease Psa, Zespri’s innovation team and KVH hosted a Psa R&D update on 21 August 2018 which saw scientists share with growers and industry insights into their research on Psa. From the Plant and Food Research new cultivars and rootstocks programmes, through to a yeast-based biological for preventing Psa that is currently being assessed by government officials for its suitability for commercial release, it was a good opportunity for growers to hear the advances in this space.

Videos of each research update are shared on the Zespri Canopy website here.
