    Future Proofing Plant Health

     The Future Proofing Plant Health project aims to provide evidence for the implementation of the GB Plant Biosecurity Strategy. It will focus on strategic areas related to new and emerging pests and diseases (prevention, detection, control, resilience), as well as identifying priority pests, diseases and pathways.

    Pine-tree lappet moth

     This project is exploring the threat to UK forestry posed by the Pine-tree lappet moth (Dendrolimus pini) and whether it is an introduced pest species or a previously undiscovered resident.
  • Research

    Green spruce aphid (Elatobium abietinum) research

     The project is analysing data on spruce aphid populations from forests managed using different silvicultural systems, to determine whether increasing the structural diversity of forest stands leads to a lower incidence of the pest and a reduction in damage.
  • Research

    Oak processionary moth

     This project will improve our understanding of how oak processionary moth populations behave in different habitats, which is essential for effective management, and it will provide information on parasitoids and predators that may be useful in biological control of the pest.

    DIAROD research summary

     The DIAROD programme aims to provide the required evidence base for Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) to enable its invasiveness and associated risks to be determined, and hence help prevent its spread, and better enable countries to manage this and future outbreaks of other pests and diseases.

    Climate change impacts on insect pests associated with Sitka spruce

     This project is investigating the potential impact that a changing climate may have on the insect pests associated with the UK’s most important and widely planted conifer tree species Sitka spruce.
  • Research

    Cameraria ohridella

     This project involves long-term monitoring of horse-chestnut trees to determine the impact of horse-chestnut leaf miner and bleeding canker disease on tree growth and survival.
  • Research

    Use of pheromone traps to monitor oak processionary moth

     This project is carrying out experimental trials to improve and standardise the use of pheromone traps for monitoring populations of oak processionary moth.
  • Research

    Local dispersal of Dothistroma septosporum

     Determining the local spread of Dothistroma septosporum
  • Research

    Testing a range of ash species for tolerance to ash dieback

     Testing for tolerance to ash die-back across various ash species.
  • Research

    Persistence of Dothistroma septosporum

     Determining the persistence of Dothistroma septosporum in fallen needles in the forest
  • Research

    Asian longhorn beetle

     This project provides a better understanding of the risks posed by Asian longhorn beetle in the UK
