In recognition of the UN International Day of Plant Health on Friday 12 May, the EUPHRESCO III network (Euphresco), the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies of Bari (CIHEAM Bari), the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative (PBRI) and CABI have partnered to bring the popular Plant Health TV video contest to life.
Now in its fourth year, the contest aims to raise awareness of the importance of plant health in our daily lives. Expressions of interest are now open, with submissions due 17 February (12:00 GMT). Take a look at last year’s videos here.
Guidelines for participation and relevant documents are available from the EUPHRESCO III Network website.
Any unusual plant pest, disease or weed should be reported.
Reporting hotlines operate in both Australia and New Zealand (numbers shown below).
Australian Exotic Plant Pest Hotline
New Zealand Pest and Disease Hotline
Pests can also be reported using apps, such as MyPestGuide® for Australia, that allow you to submit a photo of the pest or symptoms.
Every report is taken seriously and handled confidentially. Management of calls varies in different areas, but to the same end.
Join a community of professionals dedicated to strengthening surveillance capacity and capability across the Australasia-Pacific region.
