Abstract
Recent allocation of research funding from New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge (NZBH-NSC) has focused on high-tech solutions for pest management in New Zealand. However, stakeholders have expressed concern about the lack of funding support for improving many of the currently available tools, which they are dependent on for the foreseeable future. To address this concern, NZBH-NSC has requested a review of the recently developed and close-to-market-tools, and identification of the key research required to support their incremental improvement. This review was carried out jointly by Manaaki Whenua − Landcare Research and Lincoln University between October 2016 and September 2017.
