This Biosecurity Queensland research program aims to develop new, improved, integrated and adaptive management practices for the control of priority weeds, including biological control options for rangeland and dry tropics weeds. If you have any questions concerning this research, please contact program leader Shane Campbell. At the Tropical Weeds Research Centre, we specialise in integrated and adaptive management solutions for declared weeds.
We also conduct research into effective herbicide formulations and herbicide application tools for several problem weeds and contribute to the mass-rearing and release of approved biological control agents for weeds in northern Queensland. At the Ecosciences Precinct, we focus on the classical biological control of rangeland weeds, which involves looking for host-specific insects or pathogens in the weeds' native range. Biosecurity SA | Weeds and Pest Animals | Biological control of weeds. What is weed biocontrol? Biological control (biocontrol) is generally considered to be a highly cost-effective weed management method.
In Australia, investment in weed biocontrol has provided exceptional benefits; it has been shown that for every $1 invested in biocontrol there has been a return of $23 to the economy. Weed biocontrol can play an important part in an integrated control program - the use of natural enemies (particular insects, mites or diseases) can significantly reduce the costs of chemical and other non-chemical weed control methods. These natural enemies are called biocontrol agents. Biocontrol does not aim for, nor is it likely to achieve complete eradication of the target weed. Successful biocontrol will, at best, reduce the vigour and abundance of the weed, which reduces economic losses caused by the weed. Biocontrol is therefore not suitable for all situations, especially when rapid control or eradication is required. Gorse spider mite webbing on gorse. Boneseed Gorse.

EPPO Standards on Safe use of Biological Control - PM 6/3 - Version 2013 Introduction EPPO Standards PM 6/1 and PM 6/2 provide guidelines to national authorities in the EPPO region on the introduction and release of non-indigenous biological control agents, so as to identify and avoid hazards for agricultural and natural ecosystems.
These standards are intended to be used in relation to future introductions but not retrospectively for past introductions. There is extensive previous knowledge and experience of the use of introduced biological control agents in a number of countries in the EPPO region, sufficient to indicate their safe use in plant protection. The addition of a species to the list is made on the basis of current knowledge. The list is subject to regular review and may change based on new information whereby a listed species may no longer fulfil the criteria to remain on the list and is removed.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a strategy that promotes a safer and more sustainable management of pesticides. IPM strategies are evolving because of new emerging pests and climate change.
IPM is now high on the agendas in many regions of the world, particularly in the European Union as part of the Sustainable Use Directive. The OECD is currently carrying out a number of activities on IPM as part of its follow-up work to the 2nd OECD Workshop on IPM in 2011. Under the supervision of the Expert Group on IPM, the OECD is active in: Development of an international platform about IPM, the IPM Hub;Promoting and developing policies in favour of IPM adoption;Developing indicators of IPM adoption and impacts; andFacilitating awareness raising about IPM among the public and food chain operators. 2nd OECD Workshop on IPM (2011) In October 2011, an OECD workshop reinforced the critical role of IPM approaches for sustainable use of pesticides. 1st OECD Workshop on IPM (1998)
Integrated pest management. Globalization and increased mobility open allow increasing numbers of invasive species to cross national borders.[3][4] IPM poses the least risks while maximizing benefits and reducing costs.[5] For their leadership in developing and spreading IPM worldwide, Perry Adkisson and Ray F. Smith received the 1997 World Food Prize.
History[edit] Supervised control formed much of the conceptual basis for the "integrated control" that University of California entomologists articulated in the 1950s. Integrated control sought to identify the best mix of chemical and biological controls for a given insect pest. IPM extended the concept of integrated control to all classes of pests and was expanded to include all tactics. In the United States, IPM was formulated into national policy in February 1972 when President Richard Nixon directed federal agencies to take steps to advance the application of IPM in all relevant sectors.
