Our mission is two-fold:

• to contribute to the development of quality crop-production systems nationally and internationally through:
  • effective R&D program and project review and evaluation,
  • the provision of technically-sound and sustainable management options for insect pests of agricultural and horticultural crops, and,
  • assessment of the naturalisation potential and weediness risk of genetically-modified crops,
  • provision of insightful analysis and reports of agricultural research data, especially product-efficacy data,
• to foster and promote the enhanced functioning of scientific work teams and research groups through the ethical implementation of professional development programs based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®).
