Delivery and Adoption Program Image

Outcome

Commercialisation and utilisation.

Goal

Realisation by stakeholders of the benefits of the CRCNPB, as the result of adoption of improved knowledge-based systems by government, universities and plant industry organisations, and commercialisation of new technologies through the private sector.

Indicators of success

Collaboration:

Engagement with end-users through advisory groups.

High reputation and recognition of the CRCNPB with scientific and government biosecurity community.

Capacity:

Awareness of capacity of the CRCNPB to deliver benefits to industry and as a preferred supplier of biosecurity research in Australia.

Uptake:

End-user utilisation of CRCNPB outputs captured by measurable and definable indicators including, but not limited to the number of:

 

  • PDAs deployed
  • remote microscope nodes established
  • hits on the Plant Biosecurity Toolbox
  • new diagnostic protocols submitted to SPHDS 
  • on-farm insect management workshops conducted, and
  • schools teaching the Plant Pest Investigators unit.

Practice Change:

Identifiable change in practice as a consequence of CRCNPB outputs including, but not limited to:

 

  • new risk analysis tools utilised by the horticultural industry to prioritise biosecurity threats
  • new diagnostic protocols being utilised as diagnostic standards
  • new insect and pathogen eradication strategies utilised to reduce the financial and community impact of incursions
  • new stored grain fumigation techniques implemented by bulk handlers
  • new grain grower change management and knowledge transfer strategies deployed, and
  • new fruit fly surveillance techniques implemented by state agencies.

CRC70138: An Indigenous community and local knowledge-based model to manage harmful plant pests and diseasesDr David Eagling

This project seeked to proactively manage incursion threats through the development of new Indigenous and local knowledge-based approaches to biosecurity management. This requires drawing together more

CRC70186: Understanding myrtle rust epidemiology and host specificity to determine disease impact in Australia

Myrtle rust (eucalyptus/guava rust) caused by the fungus Puccinia psidii affects plants in the Myrtaceae family, which includes many Australian natives such as eucalypts, paperbark, more

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE

To facilitate the delivery, commercialisation and utilisation of all program outputs to appropriate end-users in a manner that will ensure maximum adoption of new plant biosecurity technologies and skills.
