Podcasts about fall armyworm

I'm proud of Jack. His gardening skills are increasing, with useful observations every day. Last week it was Passionvine hoppers, and they are indeed showing an upward trend. The window for control ceased in Spring (spraying the tiny fluffy bums with a simple fly spray) but for now there is little you can do until March/April, when you look for the distinctive egg patterns laid on thin, woody twigs by adult female hoppers: In Autumn cut off those dead and dying twiglets with eggs and burn them in the fireplace. Saves you from a heap of fluffybums being born next spring. Something many gardeners don't often see early enough is the beginning of Powdery Mildew. White powdery fungal deposits on leaves of cucumbers, pumpkin, squash, oak trees, hydrangeas, beans, grapes, apples, pears, rose – it's on a lot of different plants. Most gardeners find the symptoms too late. If you keep your eyes open you can find it starting right now in small patches on the leaves. The cause: long-term moisture on surfaces of leaves/plants or a dry spell followed by relative humidity and dew. For instance, when you have warm days and cool nights, you get dew, condensation! The name says it all: “Powdery Mildew”. The small white patches are a dead give-away, and so is the presence of characteristic black-and-yellow ladybird beetles – they spread the fungal spores around. Preventative control: spray with Yates Natures Way Fungal spray (a mix of Copper and Sulphur that stops further spread). And then there are caterpillars (the juvenile stage of butterflies and moths). Up North the Fall Armyworm is invading the paddocks and vegetable gardens; in your cabbage patch the larva of white butterfly is having a go. In my tunnel house, the tomato fruitworm and green loopers plus a dash of other cutworms damage all sorts of crops and ornamentals. Luckily, we now have a few rather good and safe insecticides that will deal to caterpillars: Yates Success ULTRA is not toxic to beneficial creatures that naturally control caterpillars and other pests. It is also usable on edible crops. A new group is Diamide Insecticides such as Chlorantraniliprole. Lawn Grub Control, Turf Insecticides or Leafroller and Codling Moth sprays (Altacor). But the most important thing to do NOW is keeping your eyes open in the garden! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Sydney-based researcher may have uncovered a way to combat a pest which can lead to crop damage. Fall Armyworm has been detected across most of the country, with the exception of South Australia and Tasmania.

We believe that the solutions to some of the world's biggest development challenges can be found in some its smallest places. Tiny, potentially problem-solving technologies can be found all around us in symbiosis with each other. Where? In the natural world. In the seventh episode of the Natural Plant Protection (NPP) – Podcast, we're matching a technology with a pest, and looking at the massive impact that one of nature's most destructive creatures is having on crop health and food security across Africa. The Fall Armyworm is a very hungry caterpillar, and accounts for as much as 21 million metric tonnes of maize losses every year, affecting up to 101 million people.Host Dan Sanchez is joined by Shanni Srivastava, Head of East Africa and Middle East, UPL. Shanni is playing a key role across Africa to protect crops and farmers from the devastating impact from the fall armyworm using some of the most revolutionary technology available. To learn more about NPP, visit: https://www.npp-ag.com/

The potential for reduced yields and fodder quality in corn and sorghum crops is something that now has to be proactively managed by farmers as a result of detection of fall armyworm in Australia. It is a plant pest that first appeared in QLD in February 2020 and also the NT and norther parts of WA.  It has subsequently been found throughout the eastern seaboard as far as Tasmania. Being a new pest, we are still learning how to best manage it and this month we hear from Ross Warren, Senior Dairy Extension Officer with QDAF who has seen the impact across many farms in the subtropical region of NSW and QLD and how dairy farmers are managing it. Also joining us is Jason Bake, who runs a family dairy operation near Coffs Harbour in northern NSW. Corn silage is a large component of his herds diet and we hear how they have managed it on farm, as well as why Jason views corn as “the only crop that improves in value over time”!Useful resources related to this podcast:Subtropical Dairy/QLD Department of Ag and Fisheries – Fall Army Worm Update WebinarNSW DPI Fall Armyworm resource pageDairy Australia Fall Armyworm resource pageThis podcast is an initiative of the NSW DPI Dairy Business Advisory Unit – further information and resources are available hereIt is brought to you in partnership the Hunter Local Land ServicesPlease share this podcast with your fellow farmers and colleagues and feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments via this email address thebusinessofdairy@gmail.comFurther NSW DPI Dairy channels to follow and subscribe to include:NSW DPI Dairy Facebook pageDPI Intensive Livestock Twitter feedNSW DPI Dairy NewsletterTranscript hereProduced by Video LiftThe information discussed in this podcast are for informative and educational purposes only and do not constitute advice.
