Feijoa fungus, pests a double threat

From Morning Report, 8:43 am on 29 April 2019

Feijoas are under attack on two fronts - from a pest and a fungus.The Guava moth has been causing problems for a number of years but now there's a fungal threat that's devestated crops in Kerikeri. Fears are the Anthracnose disease could spread south, just like the guava moth which has plagued orchardists and backyard gardeners, destroying fruit from Northland down to Waikato.
