The Cotton Pest Management Guide is produced by the CRDC and CottonInfo.
The Guide brings together the latest information to support informed, cost-effective and responsible pest management decisions.
From identifying pests and beneficial insects to understanding thresholds, control options, resistance management and stewardship considerations, the Guide helps growers make decisions that protect yield, fibre quality and profitability throughout the season.
The 2026-27 edition includes a comprehensive new review of the potential impacts of pesticide exposure on honeybees, incorporating the latest international research and APVMA reports. Honeybee risk ratings have been updated to include separate assessments for contact and oral toxicities, providing growers with more detailed information to support pollinator stewardship and minimise off-target impacts.
Whether you're planning your pest management strategy before planting or making in-crop decisions, the Cotton Pest Management Guide is an essential reference for balancing effective pest control with long-term sustainability.
