PLANT HEALTH AUSTRALIA | Biosecurity Plan for the Cotton Industry 2015 Acknowledgements The Biosecurity Plan for the Cotton Industry was coordinated by Plant Health Australia and developed through a partnership approach using government and industry resources and expertise. The following organisations and agencies were involved in the development and finalisation of the plan: Endorsement The Biosecurity Plan for the Cotton Industry (Version 3.0) was formally endorsed by the cotton industry (through Cotton Australia) in July 2015, and the Australian Government and all state and territory governments (through the Plant Health Committee) in August 2015. The Australian Government endorses the document without prejudice for the purposes of industries planning needs and meeting the Department’s obligations under Clause 13 of the EPPRD. In providing this endorsement the Department notes page 38 of the Plan which states: “This Document considers all potential pathways by which a pest might enter Australia, including natural and assisted spread (including smuggling). This is a broader view of potential risk than the IRA conducted by the Department of Agriculture which focus only on specific regulated import pathways.” PLANT HEALTH AUSTRALIA | Biosecurity Plan for

Abstract Four species of plant parasitic nematodes were present in soil samples planted with forage legumes at Alachua County, Florida, USA. The detected species Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Criconemella ornate, Hoplolaimus galeatus, and Paratrichodorus minor were described in the present study. They belong to orders Rhabditida (Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Criconemella ornate, and Hoplolaimus galeatus) and Triplonchida (Paratrichodorus minor) and to taxonomical families Dolichodoridae (Belonolaimus longicaudatus), Hoplolaimidae (Hoplolaimus galeatus) Criconematidae (Criconemella ornate), and Trichodoridae (Paratrichodorus minor). The identification of the present specimens was based on the classical taxonomy, following morphological and morphometrical characters in the species specific identification keys.

    EENY218 Saltmarsh Caterpillar, Estigmene acrea (Drury) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)1 John L. Capinera2 Distribution The saltmarsh caterpillar, Estigmene acrea (Drury), is a native insect found throughout the United States. Its distribution extends to Central America, and in Canada it has damaged crops in Ontario and Quebec. As a pest, it is most common in the southern United States, particularly the southwest. Description and Life Cycle A generation can be completed in 35 to 40 days under ideal conditions, but most reports from the field suggest about six weeks between generations. The number of generations per year is estimated at one in the northern states to three Figure 1. Adult saltmarsh caterpillars, Estigmene acrea (Drury). to four in the south. Overwintering reportedly occurs in Credits: John L. Capinera, UF/IFAS the mature larval stage, with pupation early in the spring. Saltmarsh caterpillars usually are infrequent early in the season, but may attain high numbers by autumn. Eggs The eggs are nearly spherical in shape, and measure about 0.6 mm in diameter. Initially they are yellow, but soon become grayish in color. Females commonly produce 400 to 1000 eggs in one or more clusters. It is not unusual to find a single egg cluster containing 1200 eggs. Eggs hatch in four to five days. Figure 2. Eggs of the saltmarsh caterpillar, Estigmene acrea (Drury). Credits: John L. Capinera, UF/IFAS 1.

    Actual and Simulated Injury of Creonfiades s/gnaws (Heteroptera: Miridae) Feeding on Cotton Bolls' J. Scott Armstrong, 2 Randy J. Coleman and Brian L. Duggan3 USDA, ARS, Beneficial insect Research Unit, Weslaco, Texas 78596 USA J. Entomol. Sci. 45(2): 170-177 (April 2010) Abstract The actual feeding injury of Creontiades signatus Distant (Heteroptera: Miridae) was compared with a simulated technique during 2005, 2006 and 2008 by injecting varying dilutions of pectinase into cotton boils at different boll sizes (ages) and into 2 or 4 locules to determine if such a technique could be used to reduce the time and labor involved with conducting economic injury level studies in the field. The most accurate simulation occurred in 2008 by injecting I ItL of 10% pecti- nase into all 4 locules of a cotton boll. This improved the relationships of injury score to seed cotton, seed, and lint weights. The youngest boll age class of > 2 cm diam. (2 d of, age) was not significantly (8 more damaged than the medium age !! 2.5 cm d of age) boils, and both sustained significantly more injury than the large boll classification of ^! 3 cm (12 d of age) However, small boils were at least 3 times more likely to abscise than medium-sized boils, and large boils did not abscise regard- less of treatment. Some damage was observed for large boils from the ' injected and actual feeding compared with the controls, but the lint and seed weights were not significantly different for any of the treatments including the controls.

    Australian Biosecurity Funding Approaches Ahchow et al. Australasian Agribusiness Perspectives 2017, Volume 20, Paper 8 ISSN: 1442-6951 Biosecurity in Australia: An Assessment of the Current Funding Approach Ruth Ahchowa, Garry Griffithb and Susan Hesterc * a Former postgraduate student, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville; and Director, Economics, Regulation and Policy, EY, Melbourne. b Principal Fellow, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville; and Professorial Research Fellow, UNE Business School, University of New England, Armidale. c Senior Research Fellow, UNE Business School, University of New England, Armidale; and Chief Investigator, Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis, School of Biosciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Australian governments and industries have limited resources to tackle established pests and diseases and to prevent new incursions. As the biosecurity threats to Australia’s economy, environment and society change, it is important that the funding and governance of responses are appropriately aligned and resourced. Key decisions concern which biosecurity threats will receive funding, how much funding they will receive, and who will be responsible for providing the funding. In this paper we review the current national approach to biosecurity funding, and a high level assessment is made against economic and public policy principles for allocation of resources to biosecurity. The review finds that the primary assessment for determining funding of national biosecurity response is benefit-cost analysis. However, benefit-cost analysis is often restricted to providing a net benefit of responding to one plant or animal pest or disease. The conclusion is that an approach which considers a portfolio of pests and diseases may be more appropriate in a limited resource environment.
