Biosecurity

Biosecurity is a series of measures, which have been designed to guard nations and businesses completely and protect them from dangers results due to the diseases and insects called pests. These disease and insects in regions of Australia named as epidemic pests. A good Biosecurity can help in overcoming the plant disease and protect plants from insects; moreover this system may also help in ensuring the food safety and security of Australia. It also protect the productivity of producers, on the other hand biosecurity also maintains the accessibility of market and reduces the risks related to the biosecurity, as these risk is occurred due to the pests as this phenomena is not new to Australia, this is one of the important focus for researchers and governments for providing domestic coordination in order to improve the policy of biosecurity, and practices around Australian plant industry and plant health Australia. Plant health Australia is one of the leading national coordinating bodies for maintaining the healthy plant in Australia. This body works with the partnership of governments, industries, and researchers and many others as well. With the help of this coordination for improving the biosecurity practices and policies in Australian plant industry a capacity have been developed, which may respond for planting emergencies of pest.

Literature Review

Plant Biosecurity

Plant Biosecurity is a combination of actions designed in order to protect a crop, sub groups of crops or crops from an emergency plant pests at regional, individual, or national farm levels. Plant Biosecurity is very important, because it has been emerged as one of the critical global issue, harmful plant diseases and pests can affect the trade, market development, market access, food safety and sustainability and profitability of plant industries. Comparatively, Australia is free from many plant diseases and pests, which significantly affects the agricultural activities in many other countries. Whereas, there is absence of many common diseases and pests normally found in overseas. Australia is free from many plant pests and industries of Australian plants, these industries have a competitive and valuable advantage in regard of maintaining low cost of production and securing accessibility of market. Somehow, if these disease and pests found their way in Australia, the viability of economy in Australian plant industries can get a value of more than $18 billion and it will contribute more than $12 billion in the export income of Australia. The perception regarding pest's production in Australia can have a rapid or negative effect on reputation of Australia as they are one of the leading producers of quality and safe food products. The continuous supply of agricultural products to national market and commerce is linked with the inner supply chain, which is at risk. Such as Cost of plant biosecurity to industry and government for overcoming the papaya fruit fly in Northern Australia during Mid-1990s was estimated around $134,000,000. Australia plays an essential role in enhancing scientific efforts, which can enable plant industries of Australia to attempt Plant biosecurity initiatives. On the other hand it ...
