What is it all about?

This project is generating the regulatory data needed to support a minor use permit for Belt® 480 SC Insecticide to control loopers in rubus crops, using raspberries as the representative crop. 

Loopers (Chrysodeixis species) are a significant pest in raspberries and blackberries, causing leaf damage, fruit contamination and yield loss. As rubus production continues to expand across Australia, growers need reliable and effective pest control options to protect fruit quality and maintain productivity.
