Irradiation is a method to destroy the reproduction of the microorganism and parasites on the lychee fruits and leaves, reducing the risk of insect infestation in the destination country as well as meeting the requirement of importing the fresh lychee to the Australian market.
Currently, the center is operating one irradiation system with the capability of irradiating dozens of tonnes of lychees, mangoes and other fruits for export.
