Gut contents analysis of macadamia predators: Who eats what and when

2024 | Islam S, Whitehouse M, Mainali B, Beach S, Tay A, Hossain Biswas J, Mottakina Akter M, Zulfiqar Rizvi S | Research report/Update

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.

Assessing Phytophthora slow decline in macadamia severity scale

2023 | Australian Macadamia Society, University of Queensland | Fact Sheet

A quick view severity scale as a guide to assist in assessing Phytophthora slow decline in macadamia.

Disease risk assessment guide for macadamia flower blights

2022 | Akinsanmi F | Manual/guide

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.

Macadamia Nut Borer: Know thy enemy (Dec 2021 MacGroup)

2021 | Griffin K | Presentation

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.
