Silver Leaf Whitefly are a major pest in the Bowen region. In July 2020, NQ Aerovation teamed up with the Bowen Gumlu Growers Association and Agronomist Jessica Volker to release over 1 million individual E.Hayati wasps over approximately 250 hectares via UAV, to control the Whitefly population and reduce the use of chemical in the region. The project was delivered with funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Communities and Environment Program.
