SARP – Onions Australia

to the Onions Australia Login Portal

The onion Strategic Agrichemical Review Process (SARP) assesses the importance of the disease, insects and weeds (plant pests) that can affect the onion industry. It evaluates the availability and effectiveness of fungicides, insecticides and herbicides (pesticides) to control the plant pests; determines any ‘gaps’ in the pest control strategy and identifies suitable new or alternative pesticides to address the ‘gaps’.

The selection of any alternative pesticide will have the benefit of:

  • IPM compatibility, wherever possible
  • Improved scope for resistance management
  • Sound biological profile
  • Residue and trade acceptance domestically and for export
