Vinehealth Australia: Metropolitan Adelaide fruit fly outbreaks, advice for the wine industry
January 27th, 2021
There are currently nine separate outbreaks of Mediterranean fruit fly (Med-fly) being managed by Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) in metropolitan Adelaide.
With vintage approaching, winegrape growers, wineries and those involved in the harvest and movement of winegrapes around or through Adelaide and its surrounding suburbs, must be aware of and comply with operational requirements associated with the outbreaks.
Operational requirements
The current operational requirements for vineyard practices and for the movement of grape material between vineyards and wineries, are provided in this Med-fly Biosecurity Bulletin.
