Impact Management Research Program Image

Outcome

Response: Reduced losses from incursions by harmful pests and diseases.

Goal

Reduced economic and social impact from incursions of harmful pests and diseases through new control, risk mitigation and recovery strategies.

Indicators of success

Economic:

Decreased economic and social cost for future pest and disease eradications and scientific defensibility of market access conditions.

Science:

New tools to optimise incursion responses accepted by peers through scientific publication and invitations to present at key meetings, conferences and workshops.

Policy:  

New tools to manage plant biosecurity threats are integrated into response strategies through consultation with end-users.

Impact/Adoption: 

New procedures for the eradication of plant biosecurity threats are used by end-users.

CRC40016: Pathogen Eradication StrategiesDr Mark Sosnowski

This project will provide alternative eradication strategies for emergency plant pest incursions on perennial crops. It will also reduce economic costs and social impact from emergency plant pest more

CRC40024: Insect Eradication (phase one)Mr Bill Woods

Eradication of arthropod harmful plant pest incursions has often relied on destructive technologies such as crop removal and broad spectrum pesticide application. This strategy incurs a more

CRC40035: Risk management processes for the movement of samples during an emergency plant pest (EPP) incursion

The objective of CRC40035 was to review the process of moving emergency plant pest (EPP) samples during incursion, determine critical control points to manage risks and make recommendations for more

CRC40049: A community based model to manage emergency plant pests (phase one)Prof Ian Falk

This project will develop new policies and strategies to improve the management of emergency plant pest incursions. It will increase community and indigenous participation to identify, prevent and more

CRC40050: Post Entry Quarantine (phase one)Dr Brendan Rodoni

This project developed advanced molecular diagnostic methods and immunological tools for the detection of plant viruses, which can be expediently applied in both post entry quarantine (PEQ) more

CRC40088: Pre-harvest fruit fly Dr Anthony Clarke

The average gross value of Australian Horticulture over the past three years is estimated at over $7 billion per year. Most of this is not consumed close to the source, but is transported to more

CRC40121: Biosecure packaging Ms Barbara Hall

Previously there were no guidelines for people to transport plant, soil and insect samples into and between laboratories. With the move to include harmful pests and diseases in the United more
