ARC Training Centre for Fruit Fly Biosecurity Innovation

ARC果蝇生物安全创新培训中心。这个培训中心旨在改变园艺产业对抗入侵果蝇的方式，这些果蝇威胁着澳大利亚农作物的价值，每年价值90亿美元。几代人以来，澳大利亚一直依靠杀虫剂来保护作物。由于对环境的破坏和对消费者健康的关切，最近已禁止在许多作物上使用最有效的杀虫剂，因此没有等效的替代品。园艺业对这种变化毫无准备，迫切需要新的可持续做法来对抗果蝇。受过科学方法和实际应用培训的新研究人员将很好地提供这些新工具。

ARC Training Centre for Fruit Fly Biosecurity Innovation. This training centre aims to transform the way that horticulture industries combat invasive fruit flies that threaten Australian crops, which are valued at $9 billion per year. For generations, Australia has relied on insecticides to protect crops. Owing to environmental damage and concerns for consumer health, the most effective insecticides have recently been banned for use on many crops leaving no equivalent replacements. Horticulture industries are unprepared for this change, and are in desperate need of new sustainable practices to combat fruit flies. New researchers who are trained in both scientific approach and practical application will be well placed to deliver these new tools.
