Identification of crop weevils is important when making control decisions. The distinctive appearance of weevils makes them unlikely to be confused with other beetles. However, distinguishing between the many species of weevil is challenging. This guide is designed to assist growers in identifying the most commonly observed weevils found in the southern and western cropping regions.

This Back Pocket Guide highlights a number of canola diseases. Canola can be infected by a number of pathogens in Australia that cause root rots, leaf diseases and crown to stem infections. Their presence and severity are dependent on plant susceptibility, presence of the pathogen and favourable climatic conditions.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the value of current and potential losses from invertebrate pests for the six most important Australian grain crops. Invertebrate pest species were identified using Australian literature and advice from entomologists with experience in grain crops. Current and potential losses from invertebrates were estimated through a survey of entomologists and reported on a GRDC Region basis. Estimates were prepared for wheat, barley, oats, canola, lupins and grain sorghum.
Based on current loss the three most important invertebrate pests of wheat are redlegged earth mite, blue oat mite and locusts. These three species are also the most important invertebrate pests of barley and oats.
The three most important invertebrate pest species of canola are diamondback moth, redlegged earth mite and canola aphids (various species) while for lupins they are aphids (various species), budworms and bryobia / balaustium (various species) mite. The most important invertebrate pests of grain sorghum are budworm (corn earworm), sorghum midge and false wireworms (various species).

Yield is an important component of a grain business’s profitability. Selecting varieties that produce the best yield for a particular market from the same inputs is good business management.

Insects of Southern Australian Broadacre Farming Systems Identification Manual and Education Resource
I SPY forms part of the invertebrate identification training package developed for broadacre crops in the southern and western grain belt regions of Australia. I SPY has been developed under the National Invertebrate Pest Initiative (NIPI), a project funded through the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). I SPY highlights the importance of insect identification and includes key characteristics used for identification of important insect and other arthropod groups (collectively referred to as invertebrates).
