NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) will undertake a new risk-based approach to all new emergency zoning in the ongoing fight against the destructive Varroa mite. NSW DPI Deputy Director General - Biosecurity and Food Safety, John Tracey said the National Management Group has endorsed a proposal from NSW that zoning distances could be different depending on the individual risk of each infestation. "The Response has 14 months of experience understanding levels of risk for Varroa mite spread, and as we have recently demonstrated in the almond pollination sites in southern NSW, a different approach can be effective," he said.
