Spotting fruit spotting bug, a big challenge to Tropical fruits industry. #fruitspottingbug #northernhorticulture #NSWDPI

Learning grainbelt insect pest ID, monitoring & IPM at Day 1 of the @DPIRDbroadacre Pest & Disease ID course 🌱🔬

Beautiful day to be out in the crop ☀️ DBM below threshold across the grainbelt, except for hotspot sites N & S of Mukinbudin 🐛 See #PestFactsWA link ⬇️ for more info. Funded by @GRDCWest @DPIRDbroadacre

Andrew assessing the diversity of predatory and parasitoid insects in canola across the grainbelt for the last year of his @MurdochUni PhD 🐞🪰 Can’t wait to read your results! @theGRDC @DPIRDbroadacre

@DPIRDbroadacre wash down bay ensuring that vehicles are clean before and after entering paddocks for fieldwork 🧽🧼 #biosecurity @SalehAdnan14

Helping @SalehAdnan14 assess damage in wheat paddocks across Geraldton with low numbers of budworm to help guide future decision making. Some crops have both budworm and armyworm 🐛 Supported by @theGRDC @DPIRDbroadacre

Did you catch the Rural Report on ABC Radio yesterday? @DPIRDbroadacre research scientist @dusty_severtson spoke with the ABC about the unusually high levels of the pest, diamondback moth, in the eastern and northern grain belt this season. Listen here ➡️ https://t.co/bNR4k3atip

Part of our budworm in cereals glasshouse work is determining if budworm 🐛 can complete their lifecycle on wheat. So satisfying to dig up a pupae in the soil! Supported by: @theGRDC @DPIRDbroadacre Field research by: @GroupMIG @SalehAdnan14

Our monitoring program for Budworm and Diamondback moth 🐛 starts now in collaboration with @WMG_WA @GroupMIG @LiebeGroup @SEAgroResearch_ @DPIRDbroadacre Funded by @theGRDC 🌱

#Plantago disease pot trial at the Frank Wise Institute for Tropical Agricultural Research! The husk of the plantago seed is also known as psyllium husk which is the star ingredient of many fibre supplements. Stoked to be contributing to global regularity! 🤭

Hear about crop diseases seen in our WA surveys last year and what to look out for this year including strategies for reducing sclerotinia risk @geoffreyjthomas @GroupMIG

Learn more about #PestFactsWA field entomologist & research scientist Svetlana Micic. Svet is based in our Albany office. Her earlier work investigated ways to decrease the number of insects harvested in grain from swathed crops. @GRDCWest https://t.co/i38o4Kfqdr

Find, identify and manage what's chewing on your sprayed canola crops. Applying an insecticide with the knockdown, and even applying a follow up insecticide PSPE bare earth, does not ensure total pest control. #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest https://t.co/326E75dbha

Had a fun time presenting on the early warning system for turnip yellows virus in canola developed by @bcong11’s team - allowing targeted spraying 🦠 @theGRDC @DPIRDbroadacre

Great to have a sclerote depot at Mingenew this year thanks @tiarna_kanny @GroupMIG as part of our @GRDCWest funded lupin sclerotinia project, a collaboration of @DPIRDbroadacre, @GroupMIG and @theCCDM

Join @geoffreyjthomas and I as we help you get a jump on crop disease risks this season in WA #ProtectWACrops

PestFax has now become #PestFactsWA find out more on the webinar

I've got high hopes for our newest lab member!

Hear from DPIRD Research Scientists @jeangalloway14 and @dusty_severtson in the latest Grains Convo podcast 🎙️ Covers important early warnings for diseases & insects, and new tech being researched to aid crop monitoring. Listen now 👉 https://t.co/h9cD8gKciO

We’re just a bit excited to now have an entomologist at the Geraldton DPIRD office. Welcome to @SalehAdnan14 who has joined our crop protection team, you may see him around as he’ll be monitoring green bridge and crops for insect pests @DPIRDbroadacre @theGRDC #ProtectWACrops
