Biology of Pasture Mealybug and Identification of Natural Enemies (CAS-1)

Pasture dieback has emerged widespread across Queensland causing significant impacts to pasture, affecting beef production systems. This will investigate a potential causal agent, the mealybug, to assist in the understanding of what causes pasture dieback. Potential natural enemies of the mealybug will also be identified. This project falls under the Dieback Program Plan which has been set up between DoA and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA).
