    Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic pests : SRDC final report BSS175
    (BSES, 1999) FitzGibbon, F; Allsopp, PG; De Barro, PJ
    This project aimed to develop a pest risk analysis on likely sugarcane pest introductions and pest incursion management plan. Assessments in the risk analysis detail the likely sources of introduction and the best strategies for minimising their impact once they become established. The management plan sets out the activities and responsibilities for dealing with an incursion. These will allow the best use of limited resources and will maximise the early success in treating new introductions.
