Surveillance, flies and snails: new technologies for snail monitoring and control


Listen Later

Research into snails over the past decade has largely focussed on baiting and while a lot has been learned, baiting is only one part of an effective integrated management strategy for snails. 

That's why a new national GRDC investment is tackling the snail problem from multiple angles by combining technology and biological research to inform control management. 

The project is being led by the University of Adelaide and the South Australian Research and Development Institute or SARDI, and involves setting up cameras in paddocks to track snail movements and migration habits, while for biological control, a parasatoid fly has been released in WA for the first time to help suppress conical snails.
