Australian Grain Insect Resistance Database data mining - Final Report

The Australian phosphine resistance management strategy is underpinned by a national resistance monitoring program that provides continuous updates on the distribution and strength of resistance. This information is collected and stored in the Australian Grain Insect Resistance Database (AGIRD). This data warehouse now contains detailed information on the incidence of resistance in Australia for the past 20 years from thousands of sites monitored over this period.

The aim of this pilot project was to develop a statistical methodology for analysing the database so that insights into resistance development might be obtained.
