Book (stand-alone)Field survey guidance for Thaumatotibia leucotreta 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to monitor Thaumatotibia leucotreta, a major plant pest commonly known as the false codling moth. Recognized as a priority pest by countries involved in the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), an initiative of the International Plant Protection Convention, this pest affects over 50 plant species, such as peppers, citrus, cotton and avocado, and can thrive in marginal conditions. The guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Thaumatotibia leucotreta, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-makingto manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. This document includes visuals and guidance on recommended pest trapping and serves to complement the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms. By using this survey protocol for regular pest monitoring, countries will strengthen their pest outbreak early warning systems, enhance their resilience against plant pests of regulatory, economic, and environmental concern, including Thaumatotibia leucotreta, and strengthen compliance with international phytosanitary standards. -

Book (stand-alone)Field survey guidance for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Consistent and thorough monitoring and pest surveillance are essential for countries to determine the presence or absence of plant pests, particularly those that significantly affect food security, the environment, trade, and agricultural productivity. This field survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), to survey Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense Tropical Race 4 (FOC TR4). FOC TR4 is a major pest threatening global banana production, can cause 100 percent yield loss on a farm, and is challenging and costly to manage. This document provides a protocol, with visuals, to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics of FOC TR4, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. The field survey guidance complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP) mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform.
