Extractions: The Division of Forest Pest Management is responsible for the protection of all forestland in the state from fungi, insects, and other forest pests. The division has established an objective to manage the health of the forest of the Commonwealth in a manner that will limit forest value losses. Forest Health Section The Forest Health Section is responsible for monitoring biotic and abiotic factors that affect forest health. Various projects are implemented for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, investigation, and evaluation of forest pest problems. These include coordinating annual forest pest surveillance flights over all forestland in the state, providing management recommendations to develop pest-resistant stands, conducting forest pest damage appraisals, training field personnel, curation of a reference collection of forest pest specimens and/or damage, maintaining a storage and retrieval database for pest occurrence records, and the acquisition or preparation of informational materials on forest pests. A forest health report for the Commonwealth is published each year. Forest Pest Suppression Section Statewide forest pest suppression projects that involve the spraying of pesticides on private, forested, residential lands, state forest lands, state parks, and other public lands are planned, organized, supervised, and evaluated both before and after spraying to determine environmental impacts and effectiveness of treatment. Many such projects are cooperative with federal and county government agencies. Along with the suppression projects, tests of pest spray materials and spray application technology are also performed.

Denny Ward USDA Forest Service - Region 8, Forest Entomologist and International Advisor Abstract The Entomology and Forest Resources Digital Information Work Group at The University of Georgia (USA) has developed Bugwood a World Wide Web-based system to support and assist in implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) in forest systems. The development of this site was directed by an entomologist and a forester with the original goal of learning to use and apply information technology (IT) to provide synoptic, broad-based educational information to Georgia (USA) extension clientele. The larger project goal now includes using these technologies to improve communications, and to support the implementation and utilization of IPM and sustainable practices in forestry and agroforestry (in Africa) to clientele wherever they are located. Bugwood contains extension-oriented information in consistent formats for direct use by users or for intermediaries for subsequent delivery to end users.

Principles of Forest Pest Management Interest in protecting forests from insect, disease, weed and vertebrate pests has increased in recent years. This has come about largely because of: increased awareness of the destructive capacities of pests; the heavy toll they take on supplies of commercial and recreational timber; environmental concerns; effects on threatened and endangered species; and availability of new, specific pesticides. Forest managers have come to realize that much of the damage caused by pests could have been avoided. With adequate knowledge of pest identification and biology, combined with good forestry management practices, it may be possible to prevent or at least reduce losses due to pests. Trees in a vigorous condition are much better able to withstand damage by pests than trees already under stress. We have learned that using a combination of prevention and control methods is the best approach to pest problems. The planned strategy of combining the best methods is called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and is discussed in the âApplying Pesticides Correctlyâ core manual. Pest management should be a part of an overall forest management plan. The need for pest control treatments can often be minimized through wise, long-term forestry practices. The pest control method(s) chosen will depend upon the kind and amount of control necessary, balanced with costs and benefits within legal, environmental and other constraints. The most important principle of pest control is to use a control method only when necessary to prevent unacceptable levels of damage. Even though a pest is present, it may not be necessary to control it. It may cost more to control the pest than to cover damage or losses.

http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/pest/summary.html

Extractions: Pests develop resistance to synthetic chemical pesticides, just as microbial pathogens of humans develop resistance to antibiotics. In fact, pest resistance currently limits the efficacy of many insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides; and there are pests such as plant-parasitic nematodes and bacteria for which no effective pesticides are available. Many synthetic chemical pesticides are broad-spectrum, killing not only arthropod and pathogen pests but also beneficial organisms that serve as natural pest-control systems. Without benefit of the natural controls that keep pest populations in check, growers become increasingly dependent on chemical pesticides to which pests may eventually develop resistance. Thus there is an urgent need for an alternative approach to pest management that can complement and partially replace current chemically based pest-management practices. Pest-management strategies can be viewed in context of whole-farming systems. In whole-farming systems, pest-management methods are integrated into other management components of agronomic systems such as crop fertilization, cultivation, cropping patterns, and farm economics. Such alternative farm-management strategies that promote soil and plant health, and water quality were recommended by the National Research Council in their report Alternative Agriculture (National Research Council, 1989b).

Pest Management Strategy: Exotic Diseases And Pests
http://www.beekeeping.co.nz/disease/exotic.htm

Extractions: Advanced Special thanks to Murray Reid and AgriQuality NZ for allowing this pamphlet to be included. Honey bee diseases and pests are spread either through bee products, used beekeeping equipment, or on the bees themselves. So the first line of defence in keeping our beekeeping industry safe from the threat of exotic disease is to control the overseas entry of all bees, bee products and used beekeeping equipment. If you bring anything into the country which is related to the beekeeping industry, declare it to a Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) Quarantine Officer. The officer will be able to tell you if importing the item is permitted, and under what conditions. Remember - even one undeclared pot of honey, purchased in an overseas supermarket, could threaten the health of New Zealand beekeeping. If you suspect one of your hives has an exotic bee disease or pest, or if you know of bees being imported illegally to New Zealand, you should take the following prompt action: Contact your nearest Apicultural Advisory Officer or call the MAF free phone for reporting suspect exotic disease, 0800 809 966. The receptionist will record your call and put you in contact with an apiculture specialist who will either visit to inspect the hives or ask you to send a sample to a laboratory
