Grower Guide to Sprayer Calibration
2025 | Grieve E, Kojetin L, Smit T | Fact Sheet
Correct sprayer calibration means you’re applying the right amount of product where it’s needed. This avoids waste, protects the environment, and ensures effective pest, disease, or nutrient management. Below are some fundamental formulas and guides to assist sprayer calibration.
Macadamia Agrichemical Overview
2025 | Kojetin L | Fact Sheet
Choosing the right agrichemical matters for efficacy, your orchard, the environment and our markets.
This overview brings together the most up-to-date information from the Strategic Agrichemical Review Process (SARP) and the Australian Macadamia Society’s own analysis to support informed decision-making about pest, disease, and weed control in orchards.
The tables summarise currently registered or permitted agrichemicals for use in macadamias.
Pesticide Management On-farm: sensitive areas, buffer zones, chemical storage and disposal
2024 | Bright J, Gregoson A | Fact Sheet
Macadamia growers have a duty of care when applying crop protection products. There are many things to consider before, during and after applying crop protection products. This fact sheet outlines these considerations and requirements of growers for record keeping, sensitive areas, storage and bunding and much more.
Spray Management
2022 | Smith A, Kojetin L, Smit T, Searle C | Manual/guide
Applying any product can be complex and, even if you have been certified to apply chemicals, it is best to get professional assistance with the intricacies of spray management if you are not experienced.

Gut contents analysis of macadamia predators: Who eats what and when
2024 | Islam S, Whitehouse M, Mainali B, Beach S, Tay A, Hossain Biswas J, Mottakina Akter M, Zulfiqar Rizvi S | Research report/Update
Predators play an important role in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) without cost to the grower. However, to make the most of this free labour requires understanding which predators consume which pest. Here we undertook the initial analysis to identify the pests consumed by predators in Macadamia using molecular analyses. First, we confirmed the species identifications of the predators, and then we undertook a metagenomic analysis of the gut contents of predators to establish which predators were consuming which pests in the macadamia ecosystem. This is the first of these types of analyses that we plan to undertake.
Assessing Phytophthora slow decline in macadamia severity scale
2023 | Australian Macadamia Society, University of Queensland | Fact Sheet
A quick view severity scale as a guide to assist in assessing Phytophthora slow decline in macadamia.
Disease risk assessment guide for macadamia flower blights
2022 | Akinsanmi F | Manual/guide
Flower blights refer to a number of pathogens which can cause significant damage to macadamia flowering. To assist with monitoring and management it is essential to understand the different blights and the conditions in which they are present. As part of the Integrated Disease Management Program for Macadamia, led by the University of Queensland, a risk assessment tool has been developed. This includes visual signs, flower stage susceptibility and importantly temperature and humidity ranges in which each disease proliferates.
