CropWatch is the division of Fruit Growers Victoria Ltd which provides Integrated Pest & Disease Management (IPDM) and field services to commercial fruit growers on a fee for service basis.
 
IPDM is the environmentally friendly way to manage orchard health. It utilizes a combination of natural pest enemies, selected chemicals and careful orchard management, to control pests. Beneficial insects such as predators and parasites, specific diseases, appropriate cultural techniques and selective chemicals are used to OPTIMISE pest control, prevent economic damage to crops and reduce environmental damage.
 
The use of beneficial insects for partial or total control of pests and the use of synthetic pheromones that simulate the pheromones are some of the IPDM practices that reduce dependency on chemicals.
 
CropWatch has a professional team of experienced, trained and qualified field staff who are available to assist orchardists to maximise their commercial returns.

Enquiries can be made through any Fruit Growers Victoria office or by contacting the CropWatch Manager (Bill Rye) on mobile 0402 314  771, or to email click here.
