Another two nurseries joined the Kiwifruit Plant Certification Scheme (KPCS) within the last fortnight.

IJ & NZ McBride and Kiwicare Horticulture have both met the requirements to sell KPCS “within region” certified field grown plants to growers in the Te Puke region.

Two more nurseries are in progress for certification this year.

KVH movement controls must be observed when ordering kiwifruit plants from nurseries and only KPCS certified plants should be obtained. Visit the KVH website for a list of nurseries and their KPCS status.
