This project delivers a practical field guide which will assist curcubit growers with the identification of insects, diseases and disorders in curcubit crops. Scientists and specialists contributed information on identifying features, symptoms, life cycles, transmissions and management options for each described problem. Along with identifying problems in crops, the guide also helps to reduce losses from pests and diseases, improve integrated pest management practices and improve crop quality and yields.

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.
