Project coordinator: An integrated disease management for the Australian potato industry (PT25001)

Project start date: 31/10/2025 

Project completion date: 23/12/2030 

This project will provide strategic coordination for R&D initiatives under PT23002, ensuring a unified approach to integrated disease management for the Australian potato industry. By reducing duplication and fostering collaboration among researchers, consultants, and industry partners, the project aims to deliver more efficient and impactful outcomes. 

For growers, this means research will be better aligned with industry priorities, communicated effectively, and translated into practical solutions. Key outputs include coordinated extension materials, risk management frameworks, and monitoring and evaluation systems to maximise return on levy investment. Led by RMCG, the project will strengthen relationships and drive adoption of integrated disease management strategies across the sector.
