The Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative supports cross-sectoral research development and extension to minimise the damaging consequences caused by biosecurity threats to Australian plant industries. This includes endemic and exotic pests, diseases and weeds that affect Australia’s plant industries, community and the environment. We welcome growers, students, researchers and investors to be part of this initiative.
