This project allowed for the identification of the major and minor pests of celery, with the development of specific control measures including identification of biological agents, cultural techniques and selective or strategic chemical use. This report contains a guide to the species of greatest interest in celery an methods to monitor the pests. Identification of these insects is possible using some of the currently available guides to insects in other horticultural and broad acre crops.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
