Novel options and strategies for integrated pest management in Australian cotton
This project is a collaboration between Crop Consultants Australia (CCA) and IPM Technologies to research and implement new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies in the Australian cotton industry. CCA is the professional association of cotton and broadacre agronomists in QLD and NSW. IPM Technologies is a Victorian-based company that brings a new perspective to the cotton production system. A participatory research approach will be used to adapt and improve current pest management and monitoring techniques, and the impacts of these and future technologies on beneficial insects. The ultimate aim is to find holistic solutions for managing the entire pest complex in a way that minimises the economic losses from mirids, green vegetable bugs, whitefly, caterpillars, mealybugs, aphids and mites.
