- Identify critical knowledge gaps around the effective management of earwigs, slaters, and millipedes.
- Benchmark current pest impacts and management practices.
- Investigate the biology and pest status of key species and quantify crop loss through field based monitoring and grower surveys.
- Look to formulate future IPM strategies.
Project Outcome:
By 2029 grain growers and advisors are minimising crop losses from earwigs, slaters and millipedes using evidence based practical pest management strategies developed from new insights into these pests life histories, feeding behaviours and control methods.
