Gaultheria shallon can be effectively controlled by the herbicides picloram, triclopyr or glyphosate if they are applied at the correct time of year.

Neurostresspep explores the use of insect neuropeptide hormones for controlling pest insects; Forest Research is investigating whether these naturally occurring compounds can be used in forest management to reduce damage by pine weevil (Hylobius abietis).

This project is providing understanding of the current and future health threats to native oaks in the UK. It is focussing on Acute Oak Decline (AOD).

The SAPPHIRE project uses data from earth observation satellites to produce effective tree-health mapping and assessment tools for plant health practitioners.

Meetings (including presentations) and events details of the Forest Research Phyto-threats project

Emerging diseases of forests caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

Emerging diseases of forests caused by new and exotic Phytophthora species (POnTE project)

This project is mapping the distribution of Phytophthora species across Britain to understand the extent of the risk they pose to tree hosts.

Collaborative European research action against emerging plant pathogens that threaten plant and trees in Europe.

Research on Phytophthora diseases of trees has been a key part of the work of Forest Research for many years.

Phytophthora austrocedri is causing widespread mortality of native juniper in northern Britain. This project aims to provide the evidence base to guide juniper conservation strategies that mitigate the effects of the pathogen.

The PHYTO-THREATS project aims to address the risks to UK forest and woodland ecosystems from Phytophthora by examining the distribution and diversity of Phytophthoras in UK plant nursery systems.
