About this webinar
Join AILA for the 'Biodiversity for Pest Resilience' webinar presented by Ozbreed, the breeder of high-performance plants rigorously tested for tough conditions. In this session, we invite you to explore the connection between biodiversity and pest resilience in your landscape designs.
In the first part of the session, Ozbreed Horticultural Expert Daniel Fuller will discuss how biodiversity is an integral part of pest resilience, providing insights into effective strategies for creating (and maintaining) thriving landscapes. In the second part, Todd Layt, owner of Ozbreed, will delve into some of the toughest Australian wildflowers and hackable Australian plants ever bred, providing the industry with low-maintenance solutions that won't die as soon as the weather changes.
We will also cover practical techniques to improve sustainability while providing biodiversity support, such as the 'chop and drop' method. Learn how hard pruning can invigorate plant growth and flowering while fostering biomass, ultimately increasing resources for wildlife.
Learning objectives:
- Biodiverse landscapes are inherently more pest resistant than monocultures
- Different plants offer different types of resources for diverse organisms
- High performing plants can be hacked back every few years for naturalistic, low maintenance landscapes and the waste can be recycled as mulch
