After the devastating 2019/20 summer bushfires, the GRDC invested in a unique research program to help growers better understand and manage crop pests and diseases post-fire event.

As part of this initiative, AgExtra senior research officer, Julianne Farrell, has been trapping and monitoring invertebrate pests at fire-affected properties on Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island. After just a couple of months there are already important learnings that growers can use to help make informed management decisions.
