Plant biosecurity is a series of measures that aid in protecting production areas from harmful insects, weeds, and various plant diseases. They are collectively referred to as ‘plant pests,’ that have the potential to adversely affect plant health.

On-farm biosecurity best practices play a pivotal role in maintaining Australia’s reputation of producing high quality products. Growers maintaining a pest-free environment can capitalise on this reputation and use it as a trade asset to gain leverage into global and local markets. Additionally, biosecurity practices can act as security against farm quarantine measures.

Proper biosecurity signage; insect, weed and pest surveillance; and on-farm clean-down facilities are three commonly used, farm biosecurity measures.
