Completed project
Podcast for fall armyworm management in Northern farming systems (MT19013)
Publication date: October 21, 2020
Delivery Partner: Cotton Research & Development Corporation
An incredibly destructive exotic pest, fall armyworm was detected on Australian shores for the first time in 2020. This multi-industry and cross-sector project was established to support readiness and help protect the horticulture sector, through the delivery of an educational podcast series for growers.
The series is available from the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative website and includes interviews with international experts on their experiences with the pest, Australian scientists on current advice and knowledge gaps, and growers and advisors discussing regional topics and responses.
This project was a collaboration between Hort Innovation and other research and development corporations including the Cotton Research & Development Corporation, Grains Research & Development Corporation, Sugar Research Australia and AgriFutures Australia. It was delivered through the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative, which you can learn more about at www.pbri.com.au.
Listen to the podcast series on the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative website.
This multi-industry project was a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Melon and Vegetable Funds
