Residual Levy Funds

Overview

Potato Blight Project
  • Addressing the significant threat of potato blight, this project utilises residual levy funds to establish a sustainable, industry-funded initiative monitoring genetic changes and fungicide sensitivity is critical.
Aphid Monitoring Project
  • Acknowledging market failure in aphid-related challenges, this project supports national aphid monitoring, providing industry-wide data for decision-making.
Management Tools to Tackle Viruses Project
  • Recognising the importance of an integrated approach in the seed sector, this project proposes joining Horticulture Crop Protection (HCP) on behalf of the seed sector, granting access to essential functions for sustaining high-grade seed production.
Reputational Management Project
  • Addressing the void left by the demise of the potato levy, this project seeks to safeguard the industry's reputation through strategic monitoring, proactive crisis management, centralised coordination, influencer engagement, and media outreach.
Bridging Information Gap Project
  • Recognising the information gap in the potato industry, this project is looking at how to provide transparent and reliable data on potato cultivation, varieties, and national yield.
CIPC Residue Monitoring Project
  • The industry must collaboratively provide data to the Chemical Regulation Division (CRD) to assess chlorpropham (CIPC) residues in stores.  Failure to submit data risks rendering stores with a CIPC history unusable.
Updating Nutrient Management (RB209)
Project
  • With the industry always looking to move forward and adopt new practices there is a need to ensure revision of fertiliser recommendations to reflect current technologies.
