Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities The Honourable Mark Furner
The Queensland Government has welcomed the emergency use approval of a biopesticide to combat fall armyworm (FAW).
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) had issued an Emergency Use Permit (EUP) which allows Fawligen to be used on the invasive pest.
“The swift approval of the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries’ (DAF) application, prepared jointly with AgBiTech – the Australian company that developed and produces Fawligen – is a significant step in the battle against this voracious pest,” Mr Furner said.
