Soil solarisation delivers near zero levels of Fusarium pseudograminearum in cereal crown rot reference sites Open
The development of commercial varieties that are resistant or tolerant to crown rot caused by Fusarium species is an important goal for cereal breeding programs internationally. Ideally, this research requires experimental sites that are i…

Mealybug Population Dynamics: A Comparative Analysis of Sampling Methods for Saccharicoccus sacchari and Heliococcus summervillei in Sugarcane (Saccharum sp. Hybrids) Open
This research is focused on a comparative field-based study of the population dynamics and sampling methods of two mealybug species, Saccharicoccus sacchari (Cockerell, 1895) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha, Pseudococcidae) and Heliococcus summerv…

Resporulation of Calcium Alginate Encapsulated Metarhizium anisopliae on Metham®-Fumigated Soil and Infectivity on Larvae of Tenebrio molitor Open
Metarhizium anisopliae infects and kills a large range of insects and is a promising biocontrol agent to manage soil insects, such as wireworm in sweetpotato. The presence of other soil microbes, which exhibit competitive fungistasis, may …

Resporulation of <i>Metarhizium anisopliae</i> granules on soil and mortality of <i>Tenebrio molitor</i>: Implications for wireworm management in sweetpotato Open
In Australia, sweetpotato ( Ipomoea batatas L.) is vulnerable to root feeding insect pests such as wireworms (e.g., Agrypnus spp.). The number of registered insecticides to control these insect pests is limited and often pest pressure, for…

Belowground plant responses to root herbivory depend on the composition and structure of their root-colonising arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Open
There is growing interest in managing arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in agriculture to support plant production. These fungi can support crop growth and nutrient uptake but also affect plant-herbivore interactions. Our knowledge of how …

Transmission of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana to adults of Kuschelorhynchus macadamiae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from infected adults and conidiated cadavers Open
Kuschelorhynchus macadamiae is a major pest of macadamias in Australia, causing yield losses of up to 15%. Our previous studies have shown the weevil is susceptible to Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae . The aim of this study w…

Integration of Entomopathogenic Fungi into IPM Programs: Studies Involving Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) Affecting Horticultural Crops Open
Weevils are significant pests of horticultural crops and are largely managed with insecticides. In response to concerns about negative impacts of synthetic insecticides on humans and the environment, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) have been …

It matters who you know, down below: Different mycorrhizal fungal communities differentially affect plant phenolic defences against herbivory Open
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous symbionts of most terrestrial plants. These fungi not only provide their host plants with access to nutrients and resources but are known to augment plant defences against insect herbivores.…

Coconut Lethal Yellowing Diseases: A Phytoplasma Threat to Palms of Global Economic and Social Significance Open
The recent discovery of Bogia coconut syndrome in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is the first report of a lethal yellowing disease (LYD) in Oceania. Numerous outbreaks of LYDs of coconut have been recorded in the Caribbean and Africa since the lat…
