Comprehensive strategies for the prevention and control of pine wilt disease in China: a review and future directions

Abstract

Pinewood nematode is a devastating forest pathogen and is considered a quarantine organism worldwide. First identified in China 40 years ago, the disease has been spreading since. In response, Chinese authorities have introduced new requirements for preventing and controlling the disease. This paper proposes a new and highly effective preventive drug, a trunk injection agent usable at normal temperatures. Its use is suggested for localized epidemic areas to reduce diseased and dead trees and as a preventive measure in adjacent non-epidemic areas to prevent the infection from spreading, particularly protecting important and ancient pine trees.Kindly check and verify corresponding affiliation is correctly identified.Checked
