sustainability through science & innovation
Project partners: CSIRO, the University of Melbourne
Funding body: the Grains Research and Development Corporation
This project is generating new knowledge about the biology and lifecycles of pest and beneficial species across the southern and western regions. It is also investigating the impact of beneficial species on pest populations. Two focus pests for this project are earwigs and millipedes. One end product of the project will be lifecycle schematics for pest and beneficial species, and an in-field guide for advisors and growers that will assist in identification and management.
