Development of identification resources and enhancing diagnostics capacity for High Priority Plant Pests
Increased capability among growers and agronomists to identify exotic pests.
Identification of 'early indicators' and development of collection and diagnostic protocols to perform analysis would allow delimiting activities to be directed towards 'hotspot' regions, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of delimiting surveillance during an incursion.
Identification of biotypes and development of diagnostic protocols would enable biosecurity agencies to better predict pest spread and establishment, and develop effective control options.
