14RISK MANAGEMENT FOR 2020
15CBS RMS AMENDMENTS
Application of CBS controls must be according to the Registration of the products used. Omission of
oil from systemic fungicide applications is a deviation from the Registration and is not in compliance
with the CBS RMS.
Conventional shipping: If pallets are older than 18 days at this point in the cold chain, and the target temperature of 3 °C
has not yet been reached, they must be re-inspected for CBS. However, once all pallets in the cold room have reached ≤
3°C they will be deemed as being shipped. No 18 day CBS re-inspection will be required during further cold storage.
REMINDER:
Discarding of waste fruit in accordance with the GAP
Re-inspection of Valencias (end July) and Lemon citrus types (90days)
Timeous planning for Ethephon test (from April to June 2020)
16ETHEPHON TEST ON VALENCIAS
Pick 110 fruits for every 5ha (or less) and 22 more for every additional hectare above 5ha.
Half of the sample (55 fruit) should be collected from row end trees, evenly spread across both
ends of the orchard.
The remaining 55 sample fruit should be collected from trees in poor condition, with no more
than 5 fruit collected from any one such poor condition tree. If there are less than 10 trees in
poor condition, the shortfall in the 55 fruit sample should be made up by collecting fruit from
trees evenly spaced in a diagonal transect across the orchard.
E.g. For a 9ha orchard: 110 + (4 x 22) =198 fruits
The sample collected for this purpose should be more targeted than random.
Sample fruits should be picked as much as possible from sickly and stressed trees.
From the selected trees, the fruits should be collected as much as possible from the lower
outside portion of the tree canopy especially on the sunny (north-westerly) side of the tree.
17FALSE CODLING MOTH RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)
Registration of pack houses is subject to verification by PPECB
Specified approved packaging as an FMS appendix
PPECB will not inspect fruit from an orchard with an “On Hold” status on PhytClean
Within 14 days after finishing harvest the orchard must be cleared of the current
season’s fruit (both fruit on the tree and fallen fruit) and removed fruit must be
destroyed outside the orchard
Positioning of data trees in each orchard: must be positioned wherever fruit drop shows
highest FCM
For fruit infestation monitoring and pack house delivery inspection specified that fruit is
considered infested if any FCM larva (live or dead) is found in the fruit.
18FALSE CODLING MOTH RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)…
Personnel responsible for orchard infestation monitoring (12 and 4 weeks prior to harvest) must be
trained and records of training and competency evaluation are compulsory
Personnel responsible for conducting the pack house delivery inspections must be trained and
records of training and competency evaluation are compulsory
Specified that pack house conditions (e.g. lighting) must be suitable to optimise effectiveness of
removing FCM infested fruit during grading
PPECB data for FCM rejections of fruit inspected for other FCM sensitive markets, age re-
inspections and DALRRD data for FCM rejections for FCM sensitive markets will also be used in
PhytClean system calculations to flag orchards
Some pack houses still reworking the rejected pallets
Every EU container shall be fitted with an air or pulp temperature monitoring device
19FALSE CODLING MOTH RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS)…
FCM HIT SYSTEM:
1. The PUC will be excluded from exporting to the EU for the remainder of season if the
PUC is implicated in an EU FCM interception and the follow up investigation (audit)
detects a major non-compliance at the PUC.
2. The PUC will be excluded from exporting to the EU for the remainder of season and the
next season if the PUC is implicated in more than one EU FCM interception in the same
season.
3. The PUC will be excluded from exporting to the EU for the remainder of season and the
next season if the PUC is implicated in an EU FCM interception and the PUC was also
implicated in an EU interception in the previous year.

ISPM 8 and 17
Status: Present in
some areas and
subject to official
control
Areas free of OFF are
published in R110 of
the Agricultural Pests

1983)

FLIES PER TRAP PER DAY (FTD)
Removal from infested areas to pest free areas is Check point
only allowed from production areas where the
fruit fly populations are kept low
Producers must implement additional
phytosanitary actions if levels exceed 10 flies per
trap per month in a production area, or an FTD of
0.33 is exceed
Application for removal permit: 1 month before
fruit will be moved
FTD = F/ T x D Photo JH Venter
PUC surveillance for special markets = 1 ME trap/100ha or PUC all year long
while surveillance for suppression is 2-4 ME traps per 100ha
23FRUIT FLY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FFMS)
Citrus Fruit Fly Systems Approach for Citrus besides (Other than) Lemons and Limes
(Citrus FF-SAO):
Each FF-MS participating orchard must be registered on the PhytClean data
management system:
Comply with the Citrus FF-SAO protocol and provide accurate data
Implement FF GAP procedures (as a guideline, refer to the CRI Production Guidelines
for the control of FF on Citrus).
Pack houses, exporters, cold stores and freight forwarders handling fruit for export
under the Citrus FF-MS must be registered on the PhytClean system.
Only approved packaging (cartons and bulk bins)
24FRUIT FLY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FFMS) Cont…
Monitoring and pre-harvest control of FF:
Fruit fly traps shall be used.
Only registered (in terms of the Fertilizers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies
Act, Act no. 36 of 1947 as amended) monitoring systems are permissible.
The trapping information as follows must be recorded and safeguarded for
inspection/auditing: trap location, trap and attractant type, trap number, inspection dates and
number of catches of target fruit fly species.
The treatment information must be recorded and safeguarded for inspection/auditing.
Orchard sanitation must be conducted weekly and continue until after harvesting completes
Orchard sanitation must be recorded and records must be safeguarded for inspection/ auditing.
Pack house delivery inspection: fruit must be recorded as infested if FF eggs or live FF larvae are
found in the fruit.
25FRUIT FLY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FFMS) Cont…
If more than 1 infested fruit is detected in the sample, the orchard status on PhytClean will become
“NP” (Not Permitted)
The pack house delivery inspection process can be repeated 7 or more days after the previous
inspection.
Fruit from the orchard shall not be packed for export under the Citrus FF-MS as long as the orchard
status remains NP.
Results from all inspections must be recorded, reported on the official data management system
(PhytClean) and the records must be safeguarded for inspection / auditing.
The shipping conditions as determined by the Citrus FMS will apply to each consignment of Citrus
FF-MS qualifying export fruit.
26FRUIT FLY RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FFMS) Cont….
Citrus Fruit Fly Systems Approach for Lemons and Limes (Citrus FF-SAL):
Lemons and Limes from all production regions are potentially eligible
Each participating orchard to be registered on the PhytClean System
The Non-host status of commercial export grade Lemons and Limes
Only approved packaging (cartons and bulk bins)
The shipping conditions as prescribed by the CBS RMS shall apply
27VERIFICATION OF CITRUS PACK HOUSES
