The
National Phylloxera Management Protocol has been developed by the
National Vine Health Steering Committee (NVHSC) to prevent the spread
of grapevine phylloxera. Through the application of a uniform national
protocol viticultural-based industries across Australia will be
better placed to maintain and improve the security and quality of
production. Industries will be able to achieve the highest attainable
phytosanitary status in germplasm collections, accredited planting
material and vineyards.

PDF - gives an overview of the development
process for the protocol and an introduction to the NVHSC including
contact details
National
movement procedures- download
PDF - previously the National Phylloxera Management
protocol, now renamed to reflect that it is one specific part of
the complete protocol The following documents are part of the National

PDF - gives definitions of PEZs, PIZs and PRZs
and a list of the currently endorsed zones in each category
Status upgrade procedures (standard)-

Procedures for the upgrade in zone status (standard)
Status upgrade procedures (remote sensing)
and alternative (remote sensing) download
PDF - describes the procedure
involved in obtaining an upgrade in status from PRZ to PEZ status
or from PIZ to PRZ status. Includes special provisions for emerging
wine regions (short grapegrowing history). The alternative procedure
includes a provision for aerial surveying as part of the survey
protocol.
There are two appendices (download separately)
i.) Appendix 1: questionnaire for growers
in regions seeking upgrade- download
PDF - establishes history of grapegrowing and
movement of phylloxera risk vectors in the region
ii.) Appendix 2: Vineyard survey procedures
2008 - download
PDF
(note: Appendix 2 is also included with the Status Upgrade Procedures
- standard. See above)

Pest risk analysis for establishment of a new infestation
of phylloxera
- examines the risk that phylloxera could be
transferred from one vineyard to another during harvest operations.
Takes into account different vectors for transporting the
insect and uses latest experimental evidence to estimate population
numbers and survival rates through different stages of the
harvest process from picking to fermentation download
