As part of Industry Innovations (II), we invite you to be involved in our Fungicide Fingerprinting (FF), Germplasm Evaluation Network (GEN), or Biological Benchmarking (BB).

Fungicide Fingerprinting, developed by FAR Australia, launched in 2021 and is the first coordinated and independent fungicide evaluation network in Australia. This initiative aims to generate an independent evaluation of existing and newly developed fungicides to help growers and advisers make better decisions when managing disease and fungicide use.

Germplasm Evaluation Network, launched in 2022, FAR Australia will work with breeders to help bring new germplasm to the marketplace whilst ensuring that genetics fulfil their yield potential. FAR Australia is partnering with industry to independently showcase germplasm performance in a series of high productivity evaluation trials across the country, initially as two disease management scenarios.

Biological Benchmarking, developed by FAR Australia, is a brand-new initiative launching in 2025 to independently evaluate biological crop protection and productivity-enhancing products under Australian conditions. As interest in sustainable farming practices grows, so too does the demand for reliable data on the performance of these products. This initiative aims to provide side-by-side comparisons of new biological options against conventional synthetic controls to support confident decision-making by growers and advisers.
