Fumigation Question and Control Tips for Cane Beetles

Late stage damage makes fumigation unprofitable but a forthcoming pamphlet by Mr. Jarvis at Meringa will outline procedures. The Bureau invites inquiries. Recommend felling feeding trees near fields, including figs, Moreton Bay ash, casuarina, and other congregating trees. Recommend hand grubs and beetle collection with a Destruction Board. Preserve insectivorous birds such as the Straw-necked, Indian gnat, Perwit, and Jackass to aid cane protection. Good cultivation strengthens cane against grubs.
