Description
The campaign to eradicate the papaya fruit fly from north Queensland has been widely acknowledged by international scientists as a significant technical achievement that equals any similar control program world-wide.
Fruit Fly Fighters is a highly readable and practical account of the whole campaign from 1995 when the papaya fruit fly was first discovered until 1999 when eradication was formally declared.
Key aspects covered include:
- The emergency response
- Campaign management
- The growers' perspective
- Monitoring, eradication, data management
- quarantine, traffic control points
- market access for fruit from infected areas
- public relations, and
- research and development
The operating manuals and other reports are in a CD-ROM that accompanies this book.
