Sentinel 5 has travelled over 4200kms, sampling airborne pests, pathogens & beneficials across Northern grains, Southern cotton & Southern grains 🪲🦟🪰
Back to HQ for now while we plan what's next for iMapPESTS, watch this space..

Growers visiting SRA Bundaberg's Field Day next Thursday 24 November will have the chance to view the iMapPESTS Sentinel 6, a mobile pest surveillance unit trialled for use in sugarcane. Book today: https://t.co/OsX8OrTCkO

We're wrapping up sentinel trials but couldn't resist deploying S6 to Alloway in Wide Bay Burnett along the way back to HQ.

Thanks to @fruitveggrowers VegNET RDO Andrew Halpin for location scouting & deployment support!

Conrad has delivered some excellent R&D outcomes in his exploration of using a metabarcoding approach to detect fungal plant pathogens in forestry surveillance traps 🌲🌳🪲🍄

Has anyone seen or heard reports of #blueoatmites attacking canola?

We are looking for a site with large numbers of a particular species of blue oat mites that is known to attack #canola to assist with our research.

If you have, please contact Aston👉[email protected]

The @iMapPESTS team recently deployed mobile surveillance unit, Sentinel 6 to Bowen in QLD's #Whitsunday region, where it is monitoring high priority pests & diseases for #vegetables, such as #thrips & #aphids.

Last week, @AUSVEG's Biosecurity Team attended the #2022PBRISym. A fantastic event to see what #research is being conducted in #biosecurity & to connect with many plant biosecurity experts. Also a great opportunity to see an @iMapPESTS sentinel in action!
