MASTERS DEGREE IN INTEGRATED PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT Magister Scientiae COURSE OBJECTIVE: To produce professional scientists that are specifically qualified to provide biological expertise in the fields of crop pest and disease management. COURSE ORGANIZATION: This degree consists of a coursework and a research project component. The coursework of four prescribed modules is spread over seven months and the research project over five months. The duration of the entire degree is thus one year. COURSEWORK CURRICULUM: Applied insect and plant disease ecology An ecological approach to pest and disease management is vital. This module therefore has two components: insect ecology and disease ecology . Topics covered include: Insect ecology : Traditional and novel approaches to the study of population dynamics; the population regulation debate; the ecology, life history and phylogeny of outbreak and nonoutbreak species; hypotheses on plant-herbivore interactions; interspecific interactions in disturbed environments; diversity and stability. Disease ecology Biological control This module addresses the biological control of insects, plant diseases and weeds in South Africa, highlighting methods and procedures, and past successes and failures in the field.

KFRI TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN TROPICAL FORESTRY - 2004-2005 Kerala has a strong tradition in forestry, and many of the eminent foresters who worked in Kerala gave a few of the firsts in tropical forestry. For example, the scientific cultivation of teak began at Nilambur in 1844 by Conolly and Chathu Menon, and Bourdillon standardized the technique of stump planting of teak in 1891. The research results are disseminated through KFRI Researh Reports, scientific papers, handbooks and information bulletins. In addition to research, training and extension are also important activities to meet the requirements of various stakeholders such as forest departments, researchers, forest based industries, students, farmer and people at large. Apart from these, KFRI also undertakes consultancies in specialized areas such as environment impact assessment, greenbelt establishment, site assessment and fertilizer recommendation, plant, timber and insect identification; pest and disease problems and wildlife census.

Genetic Engineering for Forestry in Canada: A Canadian Forest Service Discussion Paper 2002 Part II: Benefits versus Risks Should we use this new technology? Implications for Biodiversity Issue Genetically engineered trees will be used in intensively managed tree plantations. The implications for biodiversity are two-fold: firstly, because of the effect of plantation management, and secondly, due to the genetically engineered traits expressed by the trees. Context Since the first domestication of agricultural plants, the effects of new types of management in agriculture, and more recently in forestry, have been profound. Whole landscapes have been changed, as well as the biodiversity of many ecosystems. Tree plantations have been a major part of European wood and fibre supply for at least two hundred years, and are becoming an increasingly important resource around the world. Plantations are commonly assumed to reduce genetic, species, and landscape diversity because they tend to be composed of one species. However, plantations are capable of harbouring a significant part of woodland natural biodiversity. Some plantations have become crucial to the survival of certain species of birds and mammals, especially in areas where they have a specific management goal to enhance wildlife. The choice of tree species, plantation architecture and management are the main factors that affect the ecology of the natural biodiversity in and around the plantations. Plantations that have a mixture of tree species can be expected to have greater biodiversity than do plantations of only one species.

Home Back to disciplines Request exam copy Order Forest Health and Protection Robert L. Edmonds, James K. Agee, and Robert I. Gara Forest health is influenced by both natural disturbance agents and human activities, such as fire suppression, introduction of alien pests, and air pollution. An understanding of both influences is essential in creating a forest management plan, regardless of whether its objective is timber production, wildlife conservation, or wilderness management. Modern forest managers have thus adopted an integrative approach, embracing the concept of ecosystem management. Forest Health and Protection is the first text that integrates fire, wind, insects, and diseases as well as their interactions. Its comprehensive approach focuses on technical issues related to forest protection, including ecology, forest health, and ecosystem management. Useful examples from the United States, Canada, and other countries illustrate principles and problems essential to understanding these issues. Intended for upper-level under-graduate students in forestry, natural resources, and conservation courses, the text provides a clear understanding of human and natural agents and their effects on the current and future conditions of forests. 630 pages, $59.95 list; ISBN 1-57766-396-9

Links History of Forest Insect Control in Newfoundland In the early 1990's Hemlock Looper infestations began in southern Newfoundland, and expanded into central and western parts of theIsland.  It is at this time that control measures were initiated. The main insects of concern at present are the Balsam Fir Sawfly, Yellowheaded Spruce Sawfly and the Hemlock Looper.  In sufficient numbers, these insects can cause severe defoliation of the needles of semi-mature, mature and mature Balsam Fir trees in a relatively short period. In fact, tree mortality can occur in one or two years of severe defoliation. The main controlling factors are weather and a naturally occurring disease, which is also influenced by weather. Other natural factors such as parasites and predators do contribute to population reduction, but cannot prevent defoliation during an outbreak.

Forest Assessment and Protection Background How can we help? What are our interests and special expertise? Key research themes include ... Research Teams Background Australia's native forests occupy about 40 million hectares and are managed for a wide range of values. While wood production from plantations is growing rapidly, native forests remain a major source of industrial wood. The focus of forest operations is shifting from harvesting mature stands to managing regrowth for sustained production. CSIRO Forestry and Forest Products, in collaboration with State forest management agencies, has made important contributions to enhancing productivity and the value of the harvested wood while ensuring protection of water, soil and other environmental values. Researchers in the Portfolio, in collaboration with forest managers, are investigating methods for increasing the productivity of regrowth forests, minimising the adverse impacts of harvesting operations, and reducing the risk of fire and disease. A major goal is to develop techniques for monitoring the status of forests and how this is affected by management. These methods will provide the basis for continually improving forest practices and for measuring progress towards ecologically sustainable forest management. How can we help?

Our Research Work Unit provides information on insects and diseases needed to manage National Forests for the diversity of benefits they provide. We study the effects of management practices on insects and other arthropods that serve as prey for endangered species, such as the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker, or as pollinators for rare and endangered plants. We also recognize that increasing national demand for forest products, coupled with decreased resource availability in other regions, has led to increased timber harvests in the South.

Access keys Skip to primary navigation Skip to secondary navigation Skip to content ... What's new Research and development in plantation hardwood pests and diseases Insect pests, fungal and bacterial diseases and vertebrate browsers pose significant threats to the establishment of a viable hardwood industry in Queensland. The establishment and growth rates of plantation trees and the quality of the timber products are potentially reduced by serious pest or disease infestations. Establishment rates in young trees may be reduced by insects such as swarming scarabs, the disease Ramularia shoot blight of spotted gum or by browsers like wallabies and hares. Lowered tree survival impacts directly on establishment costs and later productivity. Severe attacks may even result in the need for complete replanting. The growth rates of plantation trees can be reduced due to defoliation by insects like leaf beetles and sawflies or diseases like Mycosphaerella leaf crinkle. Reduced growth rates have their greatest impact in shorter rotation plantations where there is little tolerance of loss of increment. Timber quality may be reduced due to the activity of insects like stem borers and diseases such as cankers, stain and rot fungi. These affect the end-value of the plantation timber products and losses can be considerable. Timber degrade may result from the direct physical damage to the wood, from associated staining of surrounding timber by fungi or the kino formed by the tree in response to insect or fungal attack.
