This episode is part of a series that focuses on Fall Armyworm (FAW), a destructive horticultural and field pest that was detected in Australia in 2020.

Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Queensland Principal Entomologist, Dr Melina Miles, has been investigating FAW since it arrived in the country and discusses the topic with Dairy Australia’s Dr Brenda McLachlan.

They explore the potential impact on dairy farm crops and pastures, as well as delve into pest control options to minimise risks and the challenge presented by pesticide resistance.
