CropLife Australia promotes the responsible use of a range of pest management methods to ensure sustainable agricultural outcomes.  Its members are committed to the pursuit of technologies that provide economically viable solutions to pest control. 

Crop protection products are an important tool in an integrated approach to pest management.  It is recognised that resistance management is a vital aspect of maintaining the crop protection option for integrated crop management.  In line with good farming practice, a comprehensive program of alternative management strategies is employed to minimise the development of resistance, whilst contributing towards the quality of the environment.

CropLife Australia's Resistance Management Strategies provide a guide for crop protection product rotation through product groups.  The strategies are a useful tool that supports farmers’ adoption of resistance management.

All crop protection products must be handled and applied strictly as specified on the product label or APVMA permits.  These Resistance Management Strategies do not replace product labels.  They are a guide only and do not endorse particular products, groups of products or cultural methods in terms of their performance.  It is important to check with the Australian regulator's (APVMA) product database for contemporary information on products and active constituents.  The database can be sourced through www.apvma.gov.au. 

CropLife Australia's Resistance Management Strategies are available on this website and within publications for farmers, product distributors and others involved in the distribution, sale and use of crop protection products.  Some educational institutions also use these strategies within their training resources.

The versions below are the most current versions and CropLife Australia recommends you check this site for updated versions prior to each use of the strategies.  To receive notifications of updated strategies by email, please send a request using the electronic feedback form
