Enhanced natural insecticidal activity against a pest of national priority

该项目旨在提供环境友好的非转基因作物保护工具，以防止灾难性的害虫-秋粘虫。该项目预计将产生新的知识，自然植物保护战略及其应用在有针对性的作物保护使用的组合，非传统的，但巧妙地集成，尖端的技术和方法。预期成果包括全面的新技术，以打击最具破坏性的全球作物害虫，提高澳大利亚农业技术能力和加强国际合作。这应该会带来巨大的好处，比如为澳大利亚最重要的农作物和地区以及全球粮食生产增加安全保障。

This project aims to deliver environmentally friendly, non-genetically modified crop protection tools against a catastrophic pest, the fall armyworm. This project expects to generate new knowledge of natural plant protection strategies and their application in targeted crop protection using a combination of unconventional, but cleverly integrated, cutting-edge technologies and approaches. Expected outcomes include comprehensive new technologies to fight against the most damaging global crop pest, improved Australian agritech capacity and strengthened international collaborations. This should provide significant benefits, such as added security for Australia’s most important agricultural crops and regions, and global food production.
