This project is delivering a manual for Australian potato growers that hosts a wealth of information about best practice potato management. This online resource will provide relevant and user-friendly information for potato growers on how to manage industry risks including pests and diseases, biosecurity, production and market quality.

Use of the manual will contribute to:

Improved knowledge and understanding of best practice potato management
Reduced losses from pests and diseases
Improved product quality and marketability
Improved grower profitability through increased yields and/or a reduction in waste.

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.
