Where is the hungry fall armyworm munching its way to next?
Industry and government joined forces yesterday in a workshop in Brisbane to better understand the state of play with the destructive fall armyworm moth and its larvae.
Be alert, not alarmed’ was the key message to growers and producers as the group focused on how to limit the impact of this pest.
Fall armyworm, which is new to Australia, has reported to be found on more than 350 plant species.
Educating and informing our growers and producers how to manage this pest is our top priority moving forward.
