Biosecurity refers to a series of management practices that minimize the introduction, spread and release of plant pests. A summary is available here.

  

Two tools have been developed to help farmers assess their biosecurity risks and build their own voluntary on-farm biosecurity management plan:

The Grains and Oilseeds Biosecurity Standard is a  set of target outcomes that assist farmers in developing a voluntary biosecurity management plan specific to their farm.

 

 

 

 

 

The Grains and Oilseeds Biosecurity Guidance Document is a “how to” guide for creating a farm specific biosecurity plan.
