From the 2016 Plant Biosecurity CRC Science Exchange: New controls are urgently needed to manage Queensland fruit fly (Q-fly) as the long-used cover-sprays for fruit fly control are being withdrawn for regulatory reasons. Q-fly is the most serious insect pest of summer fruits, crops which have a combined value of approximately $260 million per annum. Effective lures/ traps for mature, egg-laying female flies are especially needed as currently available controls which target the egg-laying females are weak. This research will assist in the development of synthetic fruit fly attractant odours and a commercially viable device that traps female Q-fly in the field. Commercialisation of an effective Q-fly lure will deliver significant benefit for Australian growers through improving crop productivity, reducing barriers to export, and assisting in lowering within and between-season fruit fly populations. Speakers: Andrew Finlay; Paul Cunningham
