Waipukurau Results
Spore counts are maintaining at about the same level as the past few weeks. There is variation still between paddocks within an area but with the highest count at 20,000 we are still in a relatively low risk zone. The NZ national trend has dropped slightly in the past week but we are still early in the season so watch this space.
