Banana multi-pathogen diagnostics (BY24003)
This project aims to develop a cost-effective, highly sensitive diagnostic tool, Banana MultiPath-BMP, to detect up to 15 banana pathogens with accuracy equal to or better than real-time PCR.
Ongoing project
Banana industry minor use permit program (BA16003)
Delivery Partner: Hort Innovation
Through this project, levy funds and Australian Government contributions are used to submit renewals and applications for minor use permits for the banana industry as required. These submissions are prepared and submitted to the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).
All current minor use permits for the industry are searchable at portal.apvma.gov.au/permits. Permit updates are also circulated in Hort Innovation’s Growing Innovation e-newsletter, which levy-paying members receive monthly. Not a member? Sign up to our membership program for free here.
This project is a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Banana Fund
