CSIRO Maximising Effectiveness of Limited Insecticide Resources Scholarship 2025

This project will establish best practice for insecticide applications in the sheep industry using molecular genetic analysis and computational modelling. The expected outcomes are to understand the level of resistance and cross resistance to the primary insecticides and to use computational modelling to develop optimal strategies for insecticide rotation. This solution will help prolong the usefulness of existing insecticides thereby improving animal health and profitability.
