Have you ever encountered the redlegged earth mite?

Cesar Australia is asking growers and advisors to complete a short redlegged earth mite management survey.

The information gathered from this survey will help to update management recommendations, improving the best management practice advice and resistance management strategies for redlegged earth mite.

Participation in this survey is voluntary and should take less than 10 minutes. Participants also receive early access to Cesar Australia’s RLEM online training modules.

The initial training module covers:

• Redlegged earth mite and other pest mite Identification
• Redlegged earth mite distribution and reporting
• Host preferences and damage characteristics.

The survey is being led by Cesar Australia as part of the GRDC project “Future control options of RLEM in Australian grain crops”, which has been extended to red meat producers through co-investment from Meat and Livestock Australia. The wider project involves contributions from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), the University of Melbourne, and CSIRO.
