Phylloxera Board changes to Vinehealth Australia

The Board responsible for protecting South Australian vineyards from pests and diseases since 1899, has unveiled a new name and identity. The Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board of South Australia will now be known as Vinehealth Australia a move which comes as part of the board’s five-year strategic plan. Vinehealth Australia will continue collaborate nationally to safeguard South Australia’s $1.79 billion wine industry from diseases, pests and other conditions that may affect vine health and, importantly, to help maintain South Australia’s phylloxera-free status.
