This project summarises a series of trials that have developed management strategies for a variety of greenhouse vegetable pests and their associated diseases. These tools include an entomopathogenic fungus that is currently being developed by a commercial partner for registration and release to industry, the efficacy and side effects of several reduced-risk pesticides, and the development of several biological control agents. This research has demonstrated that there are several options available to growers aside from conventional pesticides and has worked towards providing a set of tools available to the industry.

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.
