PhytClean Pre-Season Workshop 2020 Keziah Naidoo Fruit South Africa (FSA)
FMS Rules • The False Codling Moth Management System(FMS) provides for risk management of FCM at several stages. PhytClean is used to ensure compliance with the FCM rules. • Citrus FMS applies to all Citrus fruits except for lemons and key limes
How to use PhytClean For Citrus FMS • Use the key date option to ensure compliance
How to use PhytClean For Citrus FMS • FMS Control Points
Orchard Sanitation • Orchard sanitation is an important component of GAP for FCM management • Orchard sanitation entails the collection and removal of dropped fruit and hanging fruit , which show signs of damage or infestation. • Every 4 weeks PhytClean will require a reconfirmation that these sanitation practices have been maintained on each orchard.
Fruit Infestation Monitoring • Capture the total number of infested fruits per orchard onto PhytClean, not the total number of the FCM themselves. • The FMS PUC Dashboard also lists the correct number of data sets (each set of 5 data trees) that are required per orchard
Fruit Infestation Monitoring Data Capture Orchard Statuses • NOT STARTED: Default at the start of the season. No records have been captured on PhytClean. • DUE: 16 weeks before harvest monitoring should start as suggested under the FMS, the status changes to DUE, unless monitoring has already begun. • COMPLIANT: FCM Infestation Monitoring was initiated at least 12 weeks before harvest and quality of data are enough. • LATE START: Monitoring begun too late (for example less than 12 weeks before harvest. Potentially can be corrected if the harvest date is adjusted). • INTERVAL ISSUE: The interval between assessment dates is greater than 10 days in at least one case. • NOT REQUIRED: Not required as “CONFIRMED C” has been selected. • INSUFFICIENT DATA: Over the monitoring period there were not enough data points to be confident that monitoring has taken place effectively. Currently, PhytClean flags records outside 12 weeks before harvest as insufficient data which will be looked at.
Treatment • If the threshold is exceeded(number of infested fruit per data tree per week) then a treatment needs to be applied. • A list of treatments are available on PhytClean. If you find that a treatment you want to use is not there please contact the FSA team
How to use PhytClean For Citrus FMS • Make sure to check your data captured
How to use PhytClean For Citrus FMS • Before capturing First PDI records make sure that the other control points are compliant
First PHC Delivery Inspection • The packhouse is required to register with DALRRD and on PhytClean • A fruit must be recorded as infested, if a live or dead FCM larva is found in the fruit • Please Note: When the FMS PDI is due, the FFMS PDI must be done at the same time, using the same fruit sample
Later PHC Delivery Inspection • This becomes due 21 days after the First PDI is done • The Later PDI must be repeated for any orchard where harvesting continues for more than 4 weeks after the First PDI.
