The Murray Valley's Queensland fruit fly program adopts area wide management principals; complemented with community education and awareness raising programs. Increasing the community’s knowledge and understanding about how to control Queensland fruit fly it vital to the program’s success.
The main goal of the area wide management program in the Murray Valley region is to reduce fruit fly numbers across the region. Reduced pest pressure enables growers to produce fruit not impacted by fruit fly. By reducing populations across the community, it is expected that commercial properties are more likely to be able to control the impacts on-farm.
