Tender Description

The Best Management Practices Program (BMP, and now myBMP) was initially developed as part of a multi-lateral research investment involving the Cotton Research & Development Corporation, the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and the Land & Water Resources Research & Development Corporation. Titled “Minimising the Impact of Pesticides on the Riverine Environment”, $6.5M was invested to understand the fate and transport of pesticides off-farm.

The BMP Program was developed as the formal codification of the outcomes from the research that identified how to minimise the transport of pesticides off-farm.

  •  Biosecurity
