Redlegged earth mite (RLEM) management

At just one millimetre long, redlegged earth mites are tiny, but that doesn't stop them from causing significant damage across Australia, especially in regions with cool, wet winters. To find out how growers can best manage this pest – we talk to Dr Paul Umina from Cesar Australia. The project 'Future options for the control of RLEM in Australian grain crops' is a GRDC investment that is led by Cesar Australia alongside other project partners.
