The State Government has officially unveiled 17 new and improved varieties of apricots specifically bred to maximise returns to growers, today at the Riverland Field Days.

The Marshall Liberal Government will operate additional random roadblocks into the Riverland and appoint a dedicated coordinator as part of a suite of measures to ramp up protection against fruit fly for the coming summer. 

A key quarantine station protecting South Australia from interstate pest pressure including fruit fly has opened in the mid north.
