Completed project
Riverina fruit fly campaign coordinator (CT12010)
Publication date: May 24, 2016
Delivery Partner: NSW Department of Primary Industries
This project funded a project coordinator to drive the Riverina Biosecurity Inc fruit fly campaign to successfully coordinate and implement this voluntary, grower-driven fruit fly control program between 2012 and 2016.
The target audience included…
As a result of the project, the Riverina districts saw lower Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) numbers as well as attitudinal change in stakeholders towards accepting that Qfly is present on-farm yet manageable. All of the region’s 25 packing sheds have also adopted the policy of ‘No bait spray, trapping, then no taking of fruit’, and they request growers submit evidence of Qfly management on farm orchards.
