Review of the national biosecurity plan for the cherry industry and development of a biosecurity manual for cherry producers

To help the Australian cherry industry remain aware of biosecurity threats, and assist in biosecurity preparedness and capability, this project is updating the cherry industry biosecurity plan. This plan is an overarching document that identifies and reviews exotic pest and disease threats to the cherry industry, and provides a strategic framework for industry and government to work together to improve preparedness for and response to these key biosecurity threats. The project will then review the industry’s Orchard Biosecurity Manual, providing growers with information on high-priority pests and diseases, and on-farm biosecurity activities that can be implemented.
