What is it all about?
This investment provides funding into a collaborative project with Wine Australia, to deliver an updated viticulture biosecurity plan for the grape-growing industries. The biosecurity plan is a top-level document identifying high-priority endemic and exotic pests and diseases, along with the risk mitigation activities required to reduce their biosecurity threat.
For growers the work is also developing a biosecurity manual with key information on managing biosecurity threats, as well as series of fact sheets detailing high-priority threats for the industry.
The current biosecurity documents for the industry are available from the Plant Health Australia website here.
