This multi-industry project began in April 2017. Its surveillance activities are designed to bolster psyllid surveillance for the early detection of tomato potato psyllid (TPP) should it cross from Western Australia into South Australia and the eastern states, including Tasmania. Surveillance involves potato crops as well as other solonaceous vegetables (including capsicum, eggplant and chilli), especially those grown in greenhouses.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
