IPMforGrains, delivered by the National Pest Information Network
Central to this project is the collection of reports of pests and beneficial invertebrates from our networks and our local field investigations. We enter all pest occurrences into the relevant databases and share regionally relevant information with the grains industry via articles, newsletters, and novel communication strategies such as podcasts. Each partner also delivers training workshops and webinars across Australian grain growing regions. Additional services provided through this project include the provision of invertebrate (and plant disease for WA) identification services and advice, information delivery through a range of strategies, the use and maintenance of databases for reporting, the delivery of training and the generation of reports for the GRDC. Project partners also conduct field investigations and surveillance in their regions in response to seasonal outbreaks, or emerging pest occurrences.
