Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Plant Bio-Security. It needs to be at least 2750 words. Bio-security includes the introduction of animal pests, plant pests and diseases, the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their associated products as well as the introduction of invasive genotypes and alien species. Bio-security is a holistic concept to the sustainability of food safety and agriculture (Dreistadt, Flint, & Clark 2004).

Australia has strong geographical isolation on quarantine and this makes the nation to be in a fortunate situation of being free from significant pests and diseases that tend to adversely affect agricultural production in other parts of the globe. Fewer ewer pests and disease problems may mean lower production costs. Freedom from pests and diseases provides an enormous market with an access advantage to Australian producers and farmers. The social and other valued public amenities which include gardens and parks are maintained if these amenities are protected from oversees pests. In addition, plant industries in Australia need to come up with ways of protecting themselves from pests and diseases present in some parts of Australia such as potato cyst nematode (Groves, Panetta, & Virtue 2001)

Plant bio-security starts on the farm and even extends across the whole of the biosecurity continuum. Early discovery of pests and diseases is the key to effective responses. It gives the best opportunity to stop exotic pests and diseases from establishing in Australia (Dreistadt, Flint, & Clark 2004).

Severe insect attacks mostly occur in two main ways. The interaction of pest predator plant interaction becomes unequal and the pest population explodes and this causes a lot of damages to the plant. Alternatively, the pest attack may possess a cyclical nature thus it may cause damages on a seasonal basis. In most cases, plants adapt to the previous damage and this causes them minimal chances of surviving.
