Delivering a collaborative monitoring program with industry to manage and facilitate trade

Abstract

The current project represents national resistance monitoring for a period of 12 months with the purpose of transitioning this important program to a long term, self-sustainable model and establishing an enduring legacy. The findings from this research are addendum to the previously submitted final report for project PBCRC3035. While new data on resistance spread and frequency for the period 2015-16 are presented here, the methodology remains the same and the response from the end-user advocate is quite similar to the previous one. The following are the highlights from the 2015-16 season. The project has been proven to be a highly successful program as the outputs from this form the basis for development and deployment of major pest and resistance management strategies.
