The best defence against pests and diseases is the integration of biosecurity practices into your everyday business operations. Biosecurity is about managing the risk of pests and diseases impacting your business. By managing these risks, you can reduce the chance of pests and diseases being carried onto and around your property.
Why develop a farm biosecurity plan?
Having a plan helps you assess the risks of pests, diseases and weeds being introduced or spread onto your property and decide what you’ll do to manage those risks. The benefits of having a strong farm biosecurity plan for your business include:
- Reduced risk of introducing new pests and diseases.
- Lower pest and disease management costs.
- Maintained and enhanced access to domestic and international markets.
- Faster response and recovery if a new pest, disease, or weed does arrive.
