Fall Armyworm in NZ Maize: Four Years of Research
Four years since it was first detected in New Zealand, researchers and growers now know much more about management of maize pest fall armyworm (FAW).
FAR is encouraging growers to use the online voting system, which is automatic and more secure.
Postal and online voting in the referendum closes at 12 noon on August 23, with voting results expected on August 28.
Under the Commodity Levies Act, growers have the opportunity to vote to renew levy orders every six years.
‘yes’ vote will ensure FAR’s continued existence, while a ‘no’ vote would result in the organisation being wound up, and all research and extension programmes ceasing.
FAR chief executive Alison Stewart is encouraging arable farmers to take the time to vote.
