Technical Abstract:
Effective management of sugarcane, Queensland's 2nd-most-important crop, currently requires the digging-up of large numbers of cane stools to estimate populations of Dermolepida albohirtum and Antitrogus parvulus grubs. In recent field tests, these relatively large, active grubs were easily detected by acoustic techniques. Efforts are in progress to develop methods of acoustically surveying fields to determine whether pesticide or other treatment is warranted.
