Predators play an important role in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) without cost to the grower. However, to make the most of this free labour requires understanding which predators consume which pest. Here we undertook the initial analysis to identify the pests consumed by predators in Macadamia using molecular analyses. First, we confirmed the species identifications of the predators, and then we undertook a metagenomic analysis of the gut contents of predators to establish which predators were consuming which pests in the macadamia ecosystem. This is the first of these types of analyses that we plan to undertake.

Flower blights refer to a number of pathogens which can cause significant damage to macadamia flowering. To assist with monitoring and management it is essential to understand the different blights and the conditions in which they are present. As part of the Integrated Disease Management Program for Macadamia, led by the University of Queensland, a risk assessment tool has been developed. This includes visual signs, flower stage susceptibility and importantly temperature and humidity ranges in which each disease proliferates.

In this presentation AMS Project Support Officer Dr Karina Griffin discusses Macadamia Nut Borer (MNB) identification, monitoring for eggs and parasitism, male pheromone traps, and the effective release of MacTrix wasps, a natural MNB predator. Considerations for the release of MacTrix wasps include wasp feeding and emergence, survival and behaviour, timing and placement in the orchard.
