There are three main planks to the Summerfruit NZ crop protection activities which ensure growers are able to use, and have access to, appropriate crop protection tools. Growers rank crop protection as a key activity that they rely on Summerfruit NZ to deliver. The integrity, accuracy and reliability of crop protection information provided to growers is essential.
Summerfruit NZ's crop protection activities are driven by an overarching Agrichemical strategy which is reviewed annually.
The following activities are 100% funded by summerfruit commodity levies:
- MRL & PHI Tables
- Residue assurance programme
- International regulatory changes
Information on Summerfruit NZ crop protection activities and the outcomes since 2015 is available on the Summerfruit NZ Portal
