Healthy plantations. A field guide to pests and pathogens of Acacia, Eucalyptus and Pinus in Vietnam.

Abstract

This book is a resource for those involved ‘on-the-ground’ with growing plantation trees in Vietnam, identifying the pests and diseases found on them, and managing the impacts of these organisms. The book, supported by AusAID’s Vietnam CARD (Cooperation for Agricultural and Rural Development) Program, and draws on the collective, long-standing experience of forest health scientists in Vietnam, Australia and South Africa.

The book provides illustrations and information on 23 pests and 25 diseases of Acacia, Eucalyptus and Pinus for Vietnam; four of these species are important biosecurity threats not yet present in Vietnam.
