Completed project
Area wide integrated pest management support for Qfly in table grapes (TG18002)
Publication date: December 4, 2018
Delivery Partner: The Australian Table Grape Association
This investment ran from late 2018 to early 2020 to deliver information on area wide management of Queensland fruit fly to table grape growers, through education events in key Australian growing regions. With the populations of the pest increasing in table grape growing regions and adjacent areas, these information sessions provided growers with the knowledge needed to help mitigate the presence of Queensland fruit fly on-farm.
It ran as a support project for Hort Innovation Table Grape Fund project Building capacity in area wide integrated pest management for Qfly in table grapes (TG18001).
Specifically, seven workshops and six field days were held over the course of the project:
Attendees at both the workshops and field days were provided with an package that included information about Qfly biology and area wide management. Each attendee also received a yellow plastic trap and an FT mallet (male pheromone lure) to prompt them to start trapping and baiting on their properties. The field day attendees also received a magnifying lens that clips to a mobile phone, to help with Qfly identification.
This project was a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Table Grape Fund
