1 GROWER

RESPONSIBILITIES


DAFF work plans

All growers must read and understand the “grower requirements” section in the DAFF work plan for each importing country. DAFF will periodically review workplans as importing country requirements change. Work plans are available at: www.daff.gov.au/micor/plants

1.1 Integrated Pest Management All growers must implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This includes:

• a knowledge of the pests of concern for each market (refer to DAFF work plans)

• maintaining orchard sanitation and weed control

• monthly monitoring and record keeping for critical pests of concern (Table 2) and other pests from December until harvest (see sections 1.3 and 1.4)

• applying in-field controls for pests of quarantine concern

• maintaining a spray diary or evidence of control measures

1.2 Tree skirting Tree skirting is considered industry best practice. Trees should be skirted from December onwards in such a way to allow for Fuller’s rose weevil monitoring to be conducted by use of a “beat mat”. Skirting provides additional benefits in that it reduces the incidence of disease by reducing rain splash and improving air flow within the canopy. It will also reduce the risk of herbicide and pesticide residues on fruit.

Table 1. Sampling schedule for critical pests in each block

Area (ha) Number of trees sampled Total number of fruit sampled (with calyx removal)

Less than 2 25 50

2-3 30 60

4 35 75

5-8 50 100

9-16 75 125

1.3 Monthly IPM monitoringMonthly IPM monitoring is separate to the official surveys conducted by a Registered Crop Monitor in February and prior to harvest.

Growers may conduct monthly IPM monitoring themselves or use the services of a pest scout. It is highly recommended that growers wishing to undertake monthly monitoring themselves attend training on monitoring quarantine pests.

A sample of fruit and leaves from each registered block must be inspected for the presence of critical pests (Table 2). The number of sites (trees) and fruit inspected varies according to the size of the block. The calyx of each fruit inspected must be removed and inspected under optical magnification.

Results from monthly IPM monitoring are to be recorded and retained for auditing purposes by DAFF or the overseas authorities. Form 1 (p.26) provides an example of how monitoring records could be recorded but growers may use other formats.


1.4 Critical quarantine pestsThe following pests (Table 2) are considered critical quarantine pests for Korea, China and Thailand. Growers must follow the advice of pest scouts in responding to pest pressures. Documented evidence of monitoring and control measures must be retained by growers.

Refer to the respective DAFF work plans for more comprehensive quarantine pest lists.

Note that these lists are not exhaustive and importing countries may action other pests if detected on arrival. For example, mealy bugs are a common cause of rejections.

Description

Mealybugs are slow moving, soft bodied, oval-shaped insects. They are covered with a thin coating of white, mealy wax, which extends into filaments around the edge of the body. Adults are generally 3-4 mm long. Mealy bugs commonly crowd together in sheltered sites.

Damage

The main economic damage caused by mealybugs is from the downgrading of fruit quality due to sooty mould fungus growing on the honeydew.

Monitoring

Examine sheltered sites on each tree including between leaves and where fruit touch.

Remove the calyx of each fruit and examine for the presence of egg sacs, nymphs, adults, and parasitised mealybugs using a hand-lens.

If honeydew and sooty mould are present, it is likely that a substantial mealybug population exists.


California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii)

Quarantine pest for Korea

Damage

Attacks twigs, leaves, branches, and fruit. Damage is most likely to occur in late summer and early Autumn.

Monitoring

Inspect the surface of fruit. The scale cover of the female is circular (about 2 mm diameter), whereas that of the male is elongated. The colour of the scale cover changes from white in the first stage to reddish brown in later stages.

Light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana)

Damage

In citrus, light brown apple moth (LBAM) causes fruit drop and a ‘halo’ type scar around the stem end of the fruit.

Monitoring

When young fruitlets (<10 mm) are abundant, most larvae establish feeding sites in the clusters of fruit, among leaves and in flower remnants. During the young fruit stage (<40 mm), most larvae feed under the calyces of individual fruit. When only mature fruit are available, most larvae are found in amongst young leaves. Larvae of all ages construct silken shelters at the feeding site. When disturbed, the larva will wriggle vigorously backwards.


Fuller’s rose weevil (Pantomorus cervinus)

Damage

Foliage near the trunk or touching the ground is most likely to be damaged. Fuller’s rose weevil (FRW) adults chew leaf margins, leaving a serrated edge. The presence of eggs under the calyx will lead to rejections in Korea, China and Thailand.

Monitoring

FRW eggs are yellow in colour and glued together in yellowish ‘papery’ clusters of 20–30. FRW adults are about 8mm in size with two pale markings on the side of its body (arrowed), and a short snout. The most effective way of monitoring FRW in orchards is by beating limbs over a 1m2 piece of white shade cloth.

See Section 1.6 for more details on FRW management program.

Orange fruit borer (Isotenes miserana)

Damage

Orange fruit borer is of sporadic importance to late maturing citrus in Queensland. Larvae bore into fruit at the calyx end or where fruit touch causing it to drop. Larvae roll flower buds and young leaves together to form feeding shelters

Monitoring

The adult moth is grey with a wingspan of 20 mm. Mature larvae are up to 24 mm long, brown with two longitudinal brown stripes and a dark head capsule.

Bore holes can be small (3mm) and can sometimes be seen as a prematurely coloured spot on green fruit. Eggs appear as overlapping clusters. Check for signs of webbing or gouging of fruit, especially between touching fruit.


Fruit rots (Phytophthora citricola, Phytoph-thora syringae and hibernalis)

The common causes of root rot, collar rot and brown rot in Australian citrus orchards are Phytophthora citricola and Phytophthora hibernalis. Another species, Phytophthora syringae, has not been recorded from citrus in Australia but is included as a quarantine pest for China.

Damage

Yellowing of the leaves, twig dieback, death of the root system, infection of the trunk, deep rots in fruit. The decay is first observed as a light brown discoloration of the rind. Initially, the firm, leathery lesions have a water-soaked appearance, but they soon turn soft and have a tan to olive brown colour.

Monitoring

On oranges and mandarins grey/brown, firm rots form. On grapefruit and lemons the rot is yellow/brown. Leaves may have grey/brown to dark brown tip and edges and may fall when green.

Other borersWhile not generally considered pests of citrus in Australia, blastobasid fruit borer and sorghum head caterpillar are considered quarantine pests for Korea, China and Thailand.


Septoria spot (Septoria citri)

Damage

On infected fruit exposed to frosts, spots may enlarge and join to produce brown/black patches.

Monitoring

Small, round depressions that extend no deeper than the rind surface (1-2 mm diameter) will appear on fruit. Pits are light tan with a narrow greenish margin, becoming reddish-brown as the fruit matures. On infected leaves, small blister-like brown/black spots with a yellow halo develop on the lower surface.

Greasy spot (Mycosphaerella citri)

Damage

High levels of leaf infection can result in leaf drop and overtime reduced tree vigour. Fruit staining / rind blotch is infrequent.

Monitoring

First appears as small black specks up to 0.5 mm in diameter, sometimes with a chlorotic halo, on the underside of leaves 4-6 months old. With time, spots take on a darker greasy appearance. Chlorosis associated with the leaf spots extends to the upper leaf surface. Specks on the lower surface enlarge into slightly raised greasy yellow brown to black blisters 1-3mm in diameter that darken with age.


Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni)

Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata)

Damage

Adults lay eggs (‘sting’) in the fruit and the larvae feed in the flesh. Affected fruit are readily recognised since rots develop rapidly and the skin around the sting marks becomes discoloured. Queensland fruit fly damage is more severe during mid and late summer than at other times.

Monitoring

In some states of Australia, fruit fly monitoring is a state department responsibility. Male lure traps should be placed in each block at a rate of one per 10-20 hectare. The recommended trap contains a synthetic attractant combined with a fumigant insecticide. Inspect traps at weekly intervals in spring, summer and autumn and fortnightly in winter.

Inspect fruit for obvious signs of damage. All species of fruit fly have similar features with a large rounded abdomen tapering to a small back coloured head. Larvae are up to 8mm in length and when disturbed, curl into a “C” shape to hop/jump.


1.5 In-field controls for all pestsEvidence of biological or chemical controls must be documented and presented to DAFF upon audit. Examples of documentation may include spray diaries and spray calibration records.

1.6 Orchard freedom Orchard freedom requirements differ between importing country.

• Brown Rot • Black hop root rot/

collar rot• Septoria spot • Greasy spot

Block is suspended for the remainder of the season if FRW levels equal an average of 0.2 adults per tree or more.

If Fuller’s rose weevil is present, growers must implement the FRW program.

Block is suspended for the remainder of the season if FRW levels equal an average of 0.2 adults per tree or more.

Monitoring for these pests and diseases is to be carried out according to the sampling schedule in Table 1.


1.7 Fullers rose weevil program

Orchard risk assessment

Many blocks can genuinely claim orchard freedom due to their isolation. All new blocks registering for the program should be surveyed by a Registered Crop Monitor with a “beat mat” and other methods to determine the status of FRW prior to entering the program. If FRW is detected, the FRW program should be implemented for all markets from December until harvest.

Sanitation and exclusion

FRW adults are limited in their capacity to disperse unaided. Dispersal between orchard blocks, properties and districts is largely reliant on human intervention. Dispersal can occur either amongst soil with new plantings, or on clothing, machinery and equipment moving into established orchards from infested blocks. Simple quarantine and cleaning methods should be used to help prevent FRW from entering non-infested orchards.

Thailand

The FRW program is mandatory for export to Thailand for all states other than Queensland.

China

All blocks for export to China must be surveyed and found free from FRW. The FRW program must be implemented in blocks that have had a previous history.

Korea

The FRW program must be implemented in all blocks. If a grower can demonstrate genuine orchard freedom (by way of monitoring records) the FRW program will not be required.

The FRW program includes:

1. Skirting

Trees must be skirted to ensure that low foliage or fruit does not touch the ground or come into contact with weeds at any time. Skirt height must take into account the future sagging of branches as a result of fruit growth. Skirts should be at least 50cm high to allow for easy trunk treatment and inspection for weeds.

There must be less than one in twenty trees in contact with the ground.

2. Weed control and orchard hygiene

Weed control must be maintained to prevent bridging into the canopy. Groves should be inspected frequently enough to detect and combat weed regrowth before weeds contact the tree foliage. Prunings, tumbleweeds and packaging material must be kept out of the orchard as they are easily blown under trees where they create bridges for FRW adults.

3. Trunk band spraying

Trunk bands sprays must be applied with registered agrichemicals from December onwards.

First ensure that trees are skirted and that all weeds are removed. The use of Kaolin Clay is recommended to ensure complete coverage of the trunk.

Documented evidence (spray diary) must be retained and presented upon audit.

Where an orchard can demonstrate that the orchard was free from FRW in the previous season, trunk band spraying is not required.


4. Ongoing Fuller’s Rose Weevil monitoring

Monitoring for FRW must continue until harvest to reduce the risk of eggs being present on exported fruit.

Branch shaking with a beat mat is the most reliable method for detecting FRW in orchards but should be combined with fruit and leaf inspections. Place a 1m2 white shade-cloth mat under a low branch and shake vigorously six times. Inspect the mat for the presence of FRW adults.

Low hanging leaves should be inspected for signs of larval feeding which appear as jagged serrations on the edges.

Fruit will often fall to the ground when branch shaking and these should be inspected under the calyx for the presence of FRW eggs.

5. February verification survey

Growers must engage the services of a Registered Crop Monitor during February to verify that the requirements for China (orchard freedom) Thailand (0.2 FRW per tree) and Korea (0.2 FRW per tree) have been fulfilled. Crop monitors will conduct an orchard inspection, sight monitoring and control records and provide an official declaration that all requirements have been met (Form 2, p.27).

Documented evidence must be retained and may be audited by DAFF or the overseas authorities.

Note that the February survey is not the final step in the process. Monitoring and control must continue until the time of harvest.

6. Additional FRW survey

An additional survey for FRW must be conducted by a Registered Crop Monitor using a “beat mat” in the month prior to harvest. A record of that survey must be forwarded to the nominated packing house prior to fruit being packed.

1.8 DAFF orchard registrationGrowers must provide their nominated packing house(s) the following documents by Feb 28 each season.

1. Completed Annual application for grower/orchard registration form available at: www.daff.gov.au/micor/plants

2. Map of orchard that clearly labels/identifies each block and the size of each block.

3. Registered Crop Monitor February report

Growers must retain copies of these documents for auditing purposes.


REGISTERED CROP MONITOR

RESPONSIBILITIES

2


A Registered Crop Monitor is a person or company who is registered with a government authority to conduct pest monitoring. Registered Crop Monitors must be trained and assessed to qualify for registration. Training will be coordinated by Citrus Australia Ltd. The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) will maintain a record of all registered crop monitors.

2.1 Official February survey Registered Crop Monitors will visit growers between February 1 and February 28 each season to inspect orchards and verify documentation.

Documentation

Registered Crop Monitors will:

1. sight monthly IPM monitoring records for each block

2. sight records of in-field controls (e.g spray diary) for each block

Orchard survey

Registered Crop Monitors will survey all registered blocks according to the survey methodology (Table 1, p.8) to verify that:

1. blocks are free of particular pests and diseases (China - 8 pests and diseases), (Korea – 4 diseases) (Table 3, p.16)

2. blocks meet China’s orchard freedom requirement for Fuller’s rose weevil by use of a “beat mat”

3. detection levels of Fuller’s rose weevil do not exceed the threshold for Thailand (0.2 or more adults per tree) and Korea (0.2 or more adults per tree) by use of a “beat mat”

4. trees are skirted and weeds have been adequately controlled (mandatory for Thailand). A tolerance of 1 in 20 trees in contact with the ground is considered acceptable.

Registered Crop Monitors will complete the February official survey report (Form 2, p.27) to indicate whether the import requirements for Korea, China and Thailand have been fulfilled.

Orchard suspension for China

Registered Crop Monitors will suspend blocks for export to China for the remainder of the season if any of the following pests and diseases are detected.

• Fuller’s rose weevil• Light brown apple moth• Blastobasid fruit borer• Sorghum head caterpillar• Orange fruit borer• Brown rot• Fruit rot • Septoria spot

Orchard suspension for Korea

Registered Crop Monitors will suspend blocks for export Korea if the following pests and diseases are detected.

• Brown Rot • Black hop root rot/collar rot• Septoria spot • Greasy spot Registered Crop Monitors will suspend blocks for export Korea if the average detection level for Fullers rose weevil is 0.2 adults per tree, or more.

Registered Crop Monitors will suspend blocks for export to Korea if FRW has been detected and the FRW program has not been implemented.

Orchard suspension for Thailand

Registered Crop Monitors will suspend blocks for export to Thailand if the FRW program has not been implemented or if the average detection level for Fullers rose weevil is 0.2 adults per tree, or more.


2.2 Pre-harvest survey for Fuller’s rose weevil Registered Crop Monitors will conduct an additional survey for FRW in the month prior to harvest using a “beat mat” to verify that blocks remain free from FRW or that the thresholds for Korea and Thailand have not been breached.

Registered Crop Monitors will provide growers with an official pre-harvest survey report (Form 3, p. 28) for each block to indicate whether China’s orchard freedom requirements for FRW have been fulfilled and whether the threshold levels for Korea and Thailand (0.2 FRW adults/tree or more) have been breached.


PACKING HOUSE RESPONSIBILITIES

3


3.1 DAFF packing house registration Packing houses must forward the following documents to DAFF by 7 March each season to allow documents to be processed and audits to be conducted prior to export. DAFF will issue an Industry Advice Notice each season providing details of where to send documents.

1. Completed packing house registration form available: www.daff.gov.au/micor/plants 2. Completed Annual application for grower/orchard registration form3. List of all registered orchards/blocks4. Registered Crop Monitor February report for each registered orchard/block5. Map of orchard that clearly labels/identifies each block and the size of each block.

3.2 Pre-harvest survey resultsPacking houses are required to obtain a copy of the pre-harvest survey report (conducted within the month prior to harvest) from a Registered Crop Monitor prior to packing fruit for Korea, China and Thailand.

3.3 Packing house inspectionsPacking houses are required to take steps to inspect fruit to ensure that it is free from pests before being presented for export.

Grower lot inspection

A sample of fruit from each grower lot must be inspected for the presence of FRW eggs and other pests prior to entering the packing line. A 600 unit inspection rate will apply to each daily delivery of citrus fruit from each registered block/orchard (the inspection lot). Sampling should be taken as uniformly as possible across all bins in each inspection lot. The samples may be taken in the orchard and delivered to the packing house with the lot. This is mandatory for Thailand.

The inspection will be undertaken by the packing house quality controller and must include a thorough examination under the calyx of at least 60 fruit for the presence of FRW eggs. All results, including negatives, must be recorded and made available to DAFF upon request.

In-line or endpoint inspection

Packing houses are also required to carry out a 600 unit in-line or end point inspection for all markets that includes the removal of 10% (60 fruit) of the calyces.

If any evidence of FRW is found during either inspection, all fruit from the block will be excluded from export to Korea, China and Thailand for the remainder of the season.

Note that these inspections do not replace the phytosanitary inspections that DAFF conducts in order to issue the Phytosanitary Certificate.


DAFF RESPONSIBILITIES

4


Each season, DAFF will issues an Industry Advice Notice calling for registrations. DAFF is required to audit all packing houses prior to the commencement of each export season and may also audit growers and Registered Crop Monitors.

Grower audits

DAFF will audit growers against the requirements of the official DAFF workplans as well as section 1 of this document.

Packing house audits

DAFF will audit packing houses against the requirements of the Export Control Act 1982, the Export Control (Plants and Plant Products) Order 2011 and section 3 of this document.

Registered Crop Monitor audits

DAFF will audit Registered Crop Monitors to verify that they understand the import requirements of Korea, China and Thailand and that have been adequately trained and assessed.

DAFF work plans

DAFF will make regular changes to the operational work plans as importing country requirements change.
