Cane Fruit Crop Walkers’ Guide


Cane fruit growers can encounter a range of pest and disease problems that impact on both the quality and yield of fruit unless they are identified and dealt with.  Typical symptoms and identification features of important pests and diseases covered in this guide include:

  • Aphids
  • Mites
  • Spotted wing drosphila
  • Mildew, blight, rust and many others

This guide also features naturally occurring and introduced predators that can help with controlling pests in commercial crops.

Use this guide to walk and monitor your crop, and help you identify the problem if you encounter symptoms.
