Grant Activity:
Break insect narcosis to enhance actual intake lethality of pesticide
Purpose:
This project aims to sustain phosphine as a cost-effective fumigant, even for phosphine-resistant stored grain insects. It does so by introducing pulse fumigation technology, which hinges on an in-depth understanding of insect respiration patterns and narcotic states during phosphine exposure. This newfound insight into individual insect behaviour and physiology will drive the development and optimisation of the novel pulse fumigation technology. The project contributes to the evolution theory of chemical resistance, offers input for techno-economic models, and supports licensing applications. Ultimately, it provides a more potent pest control tool for chemical-resistant insects, safeguarding the Australian grain industry's reputation.
