Queensland horticulture growers are increasingly on the lookout for practical ways to manage pests and limit unnecessary pesticide use, to protect beneficials and reduce input costs. It’s about being more efficient and improving resilience of their farming systems.

Queensland horticulture growers face increasing pressure to achieve effective spray coverage while also managing input costs, environmental conditions, compliance requirements and off-target risk.

Growers operating within the Great Barrier Reef catchment area are encouraged to apply for up to $1,000 of on-farm agronomy support currently available through QFVG’s Great Barrier Reef Project.
