Title: | Attract-and-kill for the diamondback moth, 'Plutella xylostella' in canola | Contributor(s): | del Socorro, Alice (author); Gregg, Peter (author)![]() |

With funding from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and AgBitech Pty Ltd, we investigated the feasibility of attract-and-kill as a novel approach to manage the diamondback moth, 'Plutella xylostella' (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in canola. A small-scale field trial conducted on forage rape at Victor Harbor, SA in 2013, demonstrated that the attract-and-kill using Magnet® and the insecticide spinetoram (Success Neo®) worked for this species. It also showed that pheromone traps can be used to monitor DBM numbers in treated and control plots. Following this, we conducted a large-scale field trial involving aerial application of more than 600 ha of pre-flowering canola at Cummins, SA which showed a major reduction in DBM adult numbers in treated fields in comparison with the untreated and distant control fields. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AES 2014: 45th Australian Entomological Society Conference, Canberra, Australia, 28th September - 1st October, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Annual Conference of the Australian Entomological Society Abstracts, p. 26-26 | Publisher: | Australian Entomological Society | Place of Publication: | Canberra, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070308 Crop and Pasture Protection (Pests, Diseases and Weeds) | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300409 Crop and pasture protection (incl. pests, diseases and weeds) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 820502 Canola | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 260302 Canola | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication |
