Título:  Pre-emptive biological control – a new tool to maximize preparedness against high-risk biosecurity threats
Disertante: Gonzalo Avila (Senior Scientist, Science Team Leader)
Resumen: Recent years have seen a substantial increase in invasive insect pests invading countries worldwide. Many of these insect pests are highly polyphagous and are considered serious biosecurity threats to valued plant systems in many countries. Therefore, to help mitigate the impact of invasive insect pests on our crop and native ecosystems, it is crucial to identify future risks and increase our preparation to manage them effectively. This presentation will aim to highlight the importance of pre-emptive biocontrol as a key tool to enhance preparedness against high-risk insect pests.
