English: Monument to the 1920's control of prickly pear cactus infestation by the Cactoblastis moth
Русский: Текст: "В 1925 г, кактус опунция заполонил 50 миллионов акров земли в Квинсланде, из которых 30 миллионов полностью заросли им - величайший случай вторжения вредного растения, известный человечеству. В ту пору район Далби подвергся сильному зарастанию этим растением. Федеральная Комиссия по Опунции, совместно созданная федеральным правительством и правительствами штатов Квинсленд и Новый Южный Уэльс, предприняла изучения биологических методов контроля.
В начале 1925 г, небольшое количество насекомых Cactoblastis cactorum (кактусовая огнёвка) было завезено из Аргентины Аланом Паркером Доддом, кавалером Ордена Британской Империи, который руководил этим научно-исследовательским проектом. Их развели в большом количестве, и выпустили на воля по всем землям, заросшим кактусом. В ходе последующих 10 лет насекомые уничтожили все плотные заросли кактуса. Эта мемориальная доска установлена Женской исторической ассоциацие Квинсленда в четверг 27 мая 1965 г в знак признательности жителей Квинсленда, и в особенности Далби, кактусовой огнёвке, и их благодарности за избавления от этого бедствия" |
