About the Beat Sheet blog

The Beat Sheet blog is a website about insect pest management issues relevant to Australia’s northern grain region of Queensland and northern New South Wales. The blog provides technical information, pest risk alerts, and practical management information about a range of insect pests that have the potential to significantly reduce productivity and profits for the industry

This interactive website allows readers to communicate and share pest management experiences with the entomology team from the Queensland Government Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (formerly Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries). The blog is supported by funding from the grains and cotton industries.
