New app PRIM helps Australian farmers map pesticide resistance, targeting fungicides first.

A new app called Pesticide Resistance Integrated Mapping (PRIM) helps Australian farmers visualize pesticide resistance across the country, focusing on fungicides. Developed by the Centre for Crop and Disease Management and NGIS, PRIM aims to guide data-driven decisions on pesticide use, potentially expanding to cover herbicides and insecticides. This tool addresses the growing issue of pesticide resistance, which costs over $187 million to manage in herbicide-resistant weeds alone.
