Web: http://www.rirdc.gov.au Published in June 2007 ii Foreword Major tree establishment programs are being pursued in the Murray-Darling Basin and elsewhere, aimed at eucalypt plantations for landcare and commercial wood production. One of the regions being developed is the Murray Valley around Shepparton and Deniliquin. Many young plantations in the Murray Valley have incurred heavy defoliation from a range of insects and the two most commonly planted species, Eucalyptus grandis and E. globulus, are quite susceptible to insect feeding. Prior to this study, the impact of insect damage on the rate of production of eucalypt plantations in the Murray Valley had not been quantified, even though severe defoliation by insects has occurred. This report provides some assessments of productivity losses due to insect damage, and presents comparative data on the relative susceptibility of various species of eucalypts as well as within-species differences in insect resistance. The report also evaluates the economic impact of insect damage on eucalypt plantations in the Murray Valley, through modelling of management scenarios. The report also discusses the current and continuing needs for the development of non-chemical insect management options, not only to reduce production losses, but also to maintain the “freedom to operate” for this emerging industry based on multi-purpose plantations in agricultural landscapes. The report will assist plantation managers, farm foresters and researchers to understand, manage and minimise insect damage in young eucalypt plantations. This project was funded by the Joint Venture Agroforestry Program (JVAP), which is supported by three R&D Corporations—Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), Land & Water Australia, and Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Corporation (FWPRDC), together with the Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC). The R&D Corporations are funded principally by the Australian Government. State and Australian Governments contribute funds to the MDBC. This report, a new addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 1600 research publications, forms part of our Agroforestry and Farm Forestry R&D program, which aims to integrate sustainable and productive agroforestry within Australian farming systems. The JVAP, under this program, is managed by RIRDC.

  • Controlling Invasion of the Exotic Shrub (Mimosa Pigra) in Tropical Australian Wetlands
    Controlling invasion of the exotic shrub (Mimosa pigra) in tropical Australian wetlands Michelle Marko Introduction to exotics in Australia Exotics have been introduced to Australia since the time of European settlement, beginning in the 1800s. Whether deliberately or accidentally introduced, some species such as feral cats (Felis catus), the cane toad (Bufo marinus), athel trees (Tamarix aphyllabitou) and the bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera), have wrought devastation. The majority of exotics have little impact on the natural ecosystem, but those that do (between 2-40 %) are aggressive invaders that can successfully compete for niches previously occupied by native species. Many exotics not currently problematic have the potential to cause serious damage in the future (Hobbs and Humphries 1995). These exotics negatively modify the richness and abundance of other species and therefore alter the function of the natural ecosystems (Storrs and Lonsdale 1995). In Australia, about 15% of the overall vascular flora are naturalized alien species, which is estimated to be 15,000-20,000 species (Environment Australia 1998). The Northern Territory, with around 4-5 % weeds, has the lowest percentage of any state or territory in Australia. However, in the Northern Territory, Sida sp., salvinia (Salvinia molesta), Hyptis suaveolens, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), and giant sensitive plant (Mimosa pigra) are considered major threats (CSIRO 1997). Mimosa pigra, in particular, is considered one of Australia's worst weeds of conservation. In this paper, I will discuss methods to control Mimosa pigra and some areas of future research. Invasiveness of Mimosa pigra Mimosa pigra L. (Mimosaceae) poses a tremendous threat to agriculture, the conservation of wetlands and land use practices of the Aboriginal people of Australia (Braithwaite et al.
