NIASA Nursery Stock Specifications
Greenlife Industry Australia has a suite of horticulture specific sub-programs for specialist production nurseries across Australia, forming new appendices in the latest edition of the Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia (NIASA) BMP Manual.
These recently developed sub-programs contain specifications which focus on providing additional accreditation pathways for specific crop types. The NIASA BMP Guidelines now include best management practice specifications for the production of avocado and banana nursery stock for fruit production, tree stock for landscape use and macadamia nursery stock for nut production.
This Nursery Paper looks at these sub-programs in detail, outlining the requirements and benefits of each to nursery businesses and the Australian horticultural industry.
