Plant biosecurity

Pests, weeds and diseases pose a serious risk for farmers and growers and impact crop and food production. To reduce risk, the department  provides information on preventing, managing and treating pests and diseases.

Western Australia (WA) is free from some of the world's major pests, weeds and diseases. Biosecurity measures on your property are vital in preventing its spread. The department works with landholders, grower groups, community groups, and biosecurity groups to protect WA's agriculture under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007.
