"Biosecurity New Zealand will continue to support industry in helping them develop the long-term management plan, which will include non-regulatory controls and voluntary agreement."
It's the first time the two organisations have worked together on a biosecurity response since signing up to the Government Industry Agreement (GIA).
Potatoes New Zealand chief executive Chris Claridge said it was a successful end to the first joint response and management of the virus had been successful so far.
"We've got a plan in development and that will incorporate research from world experts, in line with best practice. A positive outcome to date is that there have been no significant losses to growers attributed to the disease," said Claridge.
"This response is an example of how a good partnership between government and industry works to eventually help industry to be in a position to mitigate impacts posed by biological incursions and to support decision making for the future."
Affected potatoes can display symptoms including distortions to the skin, deep cracking, and rust-coloured arcs, streaks or flecks in the tuber flesh.
