Numerous studies around the globe have identified nurseries as major source of plant pathogens that may be released in the wild, with significant consequences for the health and integrity of natural and forest ecosystems. Species in the oomycete genus Phytophthora are well known pathogens causing damaging diseases on forest trees and agricultural crops worldwide. Once introduced the eradication of these pathogens is difficult if not impossible, therefore preventing their introduction by using pathogen-free plant stock is the most cost-effective approach. In this workshop an example of best management practices to produce plants free of Phytophthora in forest nurseries to address the need of clean planting stock for restoration projects will be presented. The pilot trials were carried out in a public nursery managed by the FoReSTAS Agency, under the coordination of the AGRIS Agency and the University of Sassari.

Target audience

Enterprises, land and forest owners, foresters; technicians and operators of the nurseries in the Mediterranean environment; researchers in the filed of plant pathology, botany, agro-ecology, forestry; students and communities interested in restoration and agroforestry; schools and community associations
