Plant surveillance

< 1 minute

About the course

This course was developed to help individuals and organisations design surveillance programs to monitor plant pests such as professionals working in Australia’s plant biosecurity system (including in governments and the agricultural sector). The course may also be valuable for other groups with an interest in plant health (e.g. botanic gardens and environmental groups).

Surveillance plays a critical role in Australia’s plant biosecurity system by providing information about where plant pests or diseases are present. This information is used to maintain and manage the health of agricultural crops, urban and peri-urban plants, and the environment.
