Eradication of arthropod harmful plant pest incursions has often relied on destructive technologies such as crop removal and broad spectrum pesticide application. This strategy incurs a significant cost to industry, the environment and the community. Alternative eradication strategies that reduce the economic and social impact need to be developed.

Research outcomes

Eradication technologies were reviewed including, documenting irradiation biology and inherited sterility of Light Brown Apple moth. The competiveness of sterile moths was tested and the integration of eradication technologies was also investigated.

Research implications

Sterile insect technique has an important role as a key part of new age eradication technologies but integration with pheromones and other eradication tools needs further study. which will be conducted in phase two of this project CRC40136: Insect Eradication [13].
