Seen something unusual? MAKE A REPORT
If Psa-like symptoms are found for the first time on your orchard report these to KVH on 0800 665 825. Growers can also contact their packhouse technical representative for advice and sample collection if required. Hill Laboratories carry out routine Psa testing weekly on Wednesday only but can process samples urgently at KVH request.
KVH continues to pay for lab testing in Exclusion regions (Far North, Whangarei and South Island). Other testing may be approved on a case-by-case basis.
If suspicious symptoms are found, follow processes in the KVH Information sheet: Psa sample collection and testing.
KVH investigates reports of unusual symptoms to identify and manage any biosecurity risks.
