Leading the way in research and development

As such Key Industries is leading the charge in the fight against Fall Armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, a new and emerging insect pest that has spread across the globe over the last six years. While not in the South Island, last year FAW was detected in some regions of the North Island.

Key Industries South Island Territory Manager Peter Visser who is also instrumental  in the R&D processes says FAW can have a devastating effect on crops, producing a number of pathogens and wrecking havoc for the grower and industry. FAW has only just arrived and Key Industries is doing a huge amount in the fight against it. Our own expert in that market who has been in the maize industry for a long time is at the forefront of what’s going on. Introducing monitoring systems, enabling  people to identify if they have FAW in their crops, so we can put a management programme in place.”
