    What is it all about?

    This project will deliver updated Strategic Agrichemical Review Process (SARP) reports for 28 vegetable crops and produce a new SARP for dried vegetables. 

    The SARP process involves assessing the importance of diseases, insects, and weeds for each crop, evaluating the availability and effectiveness of current pesticides, identifying gaps in pest control strategies, and recommending new or alternative solutions. The findings will guide industry in pursuing new pesticide registrations or minor use permits, and inform priorities for the AgVet Grants program. 

    For growers and industry stakeholders, the updated SARP reports will provide clear, crop-specific guidance on pest management needs and available control options, supporting sustainable, profitable, and competitive vegetable production. 

    A new Vegetable Pest Control Solutions Matrix will also be developed to help industry cross-reference pest priorities and control options across crops, enabling more strategic planning and investment in pest management solutions.
