Product Information

Land & Water Australia brokered a policy-expert-practitioner’s workshop with CSIRO (Rai Kookana), James Cook University (Jon Brodie), the Australian Government (Kevin Gale) and Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water (Heather Hunter, Jason Dunlop, Melanie Shaw). The intent of the workshop was to bring together tools, approaches and experiences to help develop better on-farm management of pesticides, with a view to minimising off-site impact of pesticides on the ecosystem health of the Great Barrier Reef.

What is off-site movement of pesticides?

Several studies in recent years have reported the detection of pesticides in the rivers discharging to the Great Barrier Reef. Migration of herbicides from the surrounding catchments has the potential to cause adverse impact on Grest Barrier Reef ecosystem health. Consequently, improved on-farm management to minimise the off-site impact of pesticides has been identified as a high priority by various Natural Resource Management agencies in Queensland as well as the Federal Government, Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
