“…Chinajariyawong et al (2003) evaluated the Australian protein bait, Pinnacle® (Mauri Yeast, Camellia, NSW, Australia) and brewery waste from Thailand, and found that both baits significantly reduced fruit fly infestation when compared with controls. Yeast autolysate baits supplied from Mauri Yeast, such as Pinnacle® and Bugs for Bugs, have been an important component in battling Bactrocera species as part of integrated pest management programs in Australia (Lloyd et al 2010).…”

“…The management committee, called the Central Burnett AreaWide Management Committee was formed in 2003. Until today it comprises the three crop consultants, citrus and non-citrus grower representatives, staff from the state government department for agriculture, a local shire council representative and a few other stakeholders (Lloyd et al 2010). Growers tested new technologies such as male annihilation on-farm with the support of crop consultants and participated in an evaluation at the end of the pilot program.…”

“…Central Burnett, Queensland Central Burnett was chosen as it is often held-up as a model case of successful industry-driven fruit fly area-wide management (PHA 2008;Lloyd et al 2010;Davidson and Davidson 2012). Once a significant endemic pest that sometimes devastated crops, QFly is now considered a minor pest.…”

“…The area-wide management program started in 2003 as a trial led by the Queensland government in collaboration with three local crop consultants to strengthen fruit fly control and improve market access opportunities (Lloyd et al 2010). In the past there were some peak trap catches of 240 flies/trap/day, which were dramatically reduced to 1 fly/trap/day by 2010.…”

Designing local institutions for cooperative pest management to underpin market access: the case of industry-driven fruit fly area-wide management

Area-wide management of mobile pests offers advantages over uncoordinated farm-by-farm efforts through increased effectiveness of pest control and by reducing the need for pesticides. The literature about area-wide pest management focuses predominantly on the technical aspects of these programs, but tends to neglect the importance of social and institutional aspects. In this article the eight design principles for robust common-pool resource institutions are applied to industry-driven area-wide pest management. Three case studies are compared to gain insight about the social and institutional aspects that affect the success of these undertakings. These cases are focused on Queensland Fruit Fly control to underpin market access. Growers face a particular challenge to gain support from town residents, as backyard fruit trees can be pest breeding spots. The paper illustrates that social aspects -such as heterogeneous incentives, social capital and the ratio between town residents and main beneficiary growers -influence the ease of which the design principles can be applied. Market access opportunities impact the ratio of cost and benefits to different participants. The paper concludes that disconnecting the technical aspects of successful programs from the social and institutional aspects in which they are embedded can create unrealistic expectations in socially different regions that intend to replicate these programs.
