Each year Sustainable Timber Tasmania publishes Insect Monitoring and Insecticide & Herbicide Application information relating to operations on Permanent Timber Production Zone (PTPZ) land.
The information relates to:

Insecticide application is subject to the presence of damaging insect populations in addition to a suitable site and operational conditions.
