CSE00059 - New knowledge to improve the timing of pest management decisions in grain crops
The objective of this project is to generate new knowledge about the life cycle and biology of pest and beneficial species across GRDCs Southern and Western Regions, which will enable pathways for better spray decision-making and the proactive management of pests. The focus is on delivering information to growers and advisers that will help with pest control decision-making on farms and improve the timing of management activities.
