Fruit flies are one of the most serious pests in horticulture. They can breed rapidly, disperse widely and successfully infest strawberries. The larvae not only destroy infested fruit, but are a major quarantine issue for both domestic and international markets.

Watch this webinar recording from the 1 February 2018 with Dan Papacek and Paul Jones from Bugs for Bugs discuss the biology and behaviour of Queensland Fruit Fly and recommend control and management options, including protein baiting, regular monitoring and male annihilation technology (MAT). The webinar, moderated by Clinton Muller from RMCG, is also joined by Brett Jackson from Biosecurity Queensland who provides an update on market access issues for plant material to interstate markets following a spike of Queensland Fruit Fly Detections.

This webinar was delivered by the Strawberry Innovation project, funded by Hort Innovation using the strawberry research and development levy and funds from the Australian Government.
