2026 CropLife resistance management resources

Pests, weeds and diseases can reduce avocado yields and affect farm profitability, and the sustainability of Australia’s farming sector. Using agricultural chemical products carefully helps to keep them working effectively for longer.

As production systems continue to evolve, managing resistance remains one of the best ways growers can protect their crops and maintain the effectiveness of crop protection products.

New resistance management resources for growers

CropLife has released its updated 2026 Resistance Management Strategies for fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.

These resources:

• are designed to help growers and advisers manage resistance risks
• support the long-term effectiveness of crop protection tools
• provide crop-specific guidance for proactive resistance management
• are developed specifically for Australian conditions and are a vital component of integrated pest management.

Access the resources

You can access the resources on CropLife’s StewardshipFirst website, where you can search the database by crop, pest or product type.
