Pest, Disease and Weed Incidence Information

CRD (previously PSD) has funded the production of reports from Agricultural Development and Advisory Service (ADAS) on the incidence of pests, weeds and diseases in a broad range of cropping situations. The information provides a guide to the significance of pests on crops, and where particular control problems have been identified in a cropping year, (i.e. from autumn through to summer). In addition, the information can also provide some insight into interpreting pesticide usage data produced by Pesticide Usage Survey Group (PUSG). Information on weather for the harvest year under consideration and some background agronomic information are also provided.

The reports for cropping years ending 1998 to 2009 are now available:
