Roam presentation on hygiene protocols for greenhouses and biosecurity, Pukekohe, New Zealand
Recently I attended a superb presentation by Ivan Casteels, Roam Technology discussing biosecurity, hygiene, and ToBRFV.
Even though this presentation is predominantly for greenhouse growers I highly recommend that all growers, indoor and outdoor, packhouses, government departments with a focus on biosecurity for horticulture and agriculture to read the attached presentation notes.
Summary of presentation:
- Hygiene is a very important part in both propagation and cultivation (very often underestimated and looked at separately)
- An incomplete company hygiene is pointless (often focus on only parts of complete hygiene protocol)
- When a hygiene protocol is not present, you face a great risk for diseases in your plants and greenhouse.
- Having the propagation done by a professional propagator (as they have protocols in place).
- Propagators should work already under a hygiene protocol
- Propagators should have the set-up to grow good developed, uniform and “clean” plants.
- Everything that is not needed in the greenhouse: remove.
- Everyone who doesn’t have to be in the greenhouse for a good reason: No access!!

The spread of the virus from South Australia to Victoria in Australia highlights, what appears to be the near impossible task of eradicating the virus from a property once infected.
