This pest has a flower fascination 🧐🌼🐛 A greater understanding of why the pest 'Helicoverpa armigera' is passionate about pigeon pea flowers is helping researchers in breeding efforts and pest management strategies. @DAFQld Read more: bit.ly/3SPKWag

Does it pay to treat fall armyworm? 🐛 Guidelines to help growers decide when and how to treat fall armyworm (FAW), with reliable yield loss predictions and economic control thresholds, are being developed. @DAFQld @uniQLD Read more: bit.ly/47u7mTu

On next week! Join us for a #GRDCUpdates online. Melina Miles @beatsheetblog @DAFQld will discuss what to look out for as wet conditions can drive very high insect pressure and change insect behaviour behaviour Registration: bit.ly/3fXtlMl

#insectalert Reports coming in of high numbers of faba bean aphids in the CW - 1st time in the district. How to tell: ◾️Multiplies extremely quickly & big numbers ◾️Intense red eyes ◾️Can be found all over the plant, not just growing tips ◾️Hosts: fabas & vetch. @nswdpi
It is a large aphid whose body length exceeds 3 mm. The adult has a green body with dark head, antennae, legs, and patches on the abdomen. The most distinguishing feature of FBA is the intense red eyes.

573mm at our trial site can't stop fall armyworm. Another egg lay last night amongst all the rain. Large numbers of medium to large larvae still survived in vegetative maize despite the big wet. Unknown how pupae went in the wet soil #FAW

Incredible story @ByJonDaly on Duboisia & the industry “hiding in plain sight” around Kingaroy QLD. Can’t wait to see more on @abclandline abc.net.au/news/2021-11-13/s…

This sleepy country town is a secretive centre for big pharma drug production

This is the strange story of how a small, unassuming country town and a native plant became the epicentre for a major pharmaceutical drug industry and an alleged criminal cartel.

A virus that oozes out through a caterpillar's skin before exterminating it is being investigated as a way to combat an invasive insect that's devastating some Australian crops.

Entomologist Ian Newton from @DAFQld is successfully culturing a fungus known to kill Fall army worm. It’s no ‘silver bullet’ but it’s giving farmers hope in face of an invasive and insidious new pest #FAW – at Mareeba, Queensland

QDAF has received approval to import Fawligen (FAW biopesticide) for research purposes. This is fantastic news for FAW control. Performance data has to be generated before it can be approved for commercial use. @AgBiTech statements.qld.gov.au/statem…

FAW has eaten its way through sorghum, pulses and horticulture crops with minor feeding damage and indicators have shown that maize is its preferred food source. But as the maize season ends, what will FAW be attracted to next? #fallarmyworm bit.ly/2Kdos2f
