This webinar mini-series focused on area wide management (AWM) strategies to control viruses in capsicums including tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), capsicum chlorosis virus (CaCV) and insect transmission with presenter Denis Persley from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
Watch this recording to hear top tips and tools for understanding the spread from thrips, aphids and whitefly, as well as practical management techniques of the viruses.
AWM strategies for vector-borne diseases will help to prevent or minimise the development of insecticide resistance in vector populations, improve the efficiency of biological agents released for control of vectors, and better protect host resistance genes against the emergence of resistance-breaking strains of the viruses. It also provides management options when host resistance genes are not available.
The session is the second of three tackling different viruses and delivered by the Soil Wealth ICP project team over August to October 2022.
