Abstract

Insect pest management is a challenge to many growers and advisers because the suite of pests they deal with changes constantly. The outputs from this project have contributed significantly to providing increased knowledge and capacity among advisers and growers to manage their insect pests profitably and sustainably. Research and development (R&D) on pest biology, ecology, economic thresholds, sampling methods and effective control options have contributed to building a robust integrated management strategy for insect pests. The management endeavours of industry have been supported through the provision of diagnostics, responsive R&D, training, and broad-based communication.
