SUMMARY:Webinar: Bites & Insights - Being Prepared for Fall Armyworm (FAW)
DESCRIPTION:Join VegNET Tasmania for a 30-minute webinar to get essential insights into Fall Armyworm (FAW)\, a major pest threatening Australia’s horticulture sector and beyond. \nFirst detected in Far North Queensland in January 2020\, FAW has since spread across QLD\, NSW\, WA\, NT\, and VIC\, causing significant crop damage. Preferential crops include sweet corn\, capsicum\, beetroot\, tomato\, onion\, cauliflower\, lettuce\, potato\, maize\, rice\, sorghum\, and wheat. \nIt is a declared pest in Tasmania and any sightings must be reported to Biosecurity Tasmania. \nIn this session\, Tayla Field\, VegNET Tasmania Regional Development Officer\, will host a discussion with Dr. Ramesh Raj Puri\, Extension Officer from QLD DPI\, who has been working on Hort Innovation funded project: “National Fall Armyworm innovation system for the Australian vegetable industry”. \nWe’ll also hear from Veejay’s Kalfresh agronomist\, John Nancarrow\, who will share first-hand experiences on how FAW has affected crops and farm operations in Queensland’s Bowen growing region. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nCrop impacts seen in other regions\nThe importance of monitoring and early detection\nHow to visually identify FAW\nFAW behaviour and peak activity periods\nUseful resources available for growers\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to get informed and be prepared for any FAW incursions in Tasmania. \n\nBites & Insights are quick & engaging lunchtime webinars designed to deliver valuable knowledge in bite-sized sessions to Tasmanian vegetable growers and industry service providers — presented by VegNET Tasmania.
