Partners for the future of West Coast Farming

DescriptionPartners for the future of West Coast Farming. The development of iron pan soils for dairy and dry stock farming on the West Coast of New Zealand has created the perfect conditions for a pasture pest called Manuka beetle (Pyronota festiva and P.setosa) and has resulted in a population explosion of this previously innocuous native insect. Project: Effect of grass species and cultivation methods on Pyronota species in a traditional farm model. Researchers: Jessica Dunbar, Professor John Hampton, Professor Travis Glare, Dr Trevor Jackson and Richard Townsend (AgResearch), Matthew Keltie and Paul Hateley (Landcorp Farming).Corporate AuthorLincoln UniversityPersonJ.
