This project identified key fruit fly parasitoids present in our major horticultural production areas and advanced our knowledge of the biology and pre-release feeding requirements of Diachasmimorpha tryoni, for the augmentative biological control of the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae).
This historical project was a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Citrus Fund
