Industry specific fruit fly management
Managing fruit fly is a complex process and requires long-term sustained and planned activity. To assist industry and increase the general understanding of fruit fly management, the National Fruit Fly Council (NFFC) has developed a set of basic primers, tailored for major fruit fly affected industries.
