Supporting the apple and pear industry to grow smarter
To remain at the leading edge, Australian growers must be able to take advantage of the world’s best scientific knowledge in agronomy, packaging and pests and disease management.
Investment of the R&D levy into scientific research is guided by the Apple and Pear Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) and aims to improve industry profitability and global competitiveness of Australian industry.
Outputs from levy-funded projects range from fact sheets to videos and capture the recommendations for growers to implement on-farm. When an investment is complete, a Final Research Report is prepared.
In addition to those Final Research Reports specific to pome fruit, cross-industry reports of relevance to apple and pear growers and Industry Statistics curated by APAL are listed below.
