Introduction In recent years Vietnam’s forest coverage has undergone rapid expansion, with a marked increase in plantings of exotic species of Eucalyptus, Acacia and Pinus. This expansion provides excellent opportunities for new international export markets for timber products. However it also represents new and increased risks from forestry pests and diseases, which in outbreak circumstances can have catastrophic consequences on plantation establishment and productivity. These risks come from pest and disease species already established in Vietnam, and exotic species not yet present in the country. This CARD project aims to improve the capacity of Vietnam’s Forest Health workers to undertake surveillance for pests and diseases and to identify those detected. Good surveillance and early detection are critical to improve management outcomes for pest and disease outbreaks; identify and respond to exotic incursions; and produce pest lists to meet international export requirements. 5. Project objectives  To establish a forest pest and disease database and reference collection.  To provide training on forest health surveillance, damage assessment, pest risk analysis, collection, preservation, identification and curation and to increase awareness and understanding of forest health surveillance among stakeholders.  To establish and equip a pilot network of observation centres based on FSIV regional centres supplemented by provincial Departments of Crop Protection.  To create linkages between Forestry, Agriculture and Quarantine agencies within Vietnam and with regional and international organisations. 6. Materials and Methods  Establish database at FSIV, based either on existing MS Access Database (previously developed by QDPI&F) or the National Phytosanitary Database (held by Plant Protection, MARD). Database selection criteria will include amenability to modification to suit forest surveillance data and ease of import/export of data. Training will be provided in the use of database to FSIV officers. Initially, the database will be populated with existing records following validation of identifications of existing specimens, and then the database will be augmented throughout life of project with new surveillance records, principally from three regional centres.  Establish pest and disease reference collections at FSIV. This will include procurement of modern storage cabinets and unit trays, and improvements to current curatorial techniques. Training in Australia and Vietnam will enhance specimen preparation skills.  Surveillance skills (survey design, collection and preservation of specimens, data recording, field identifications, laboratory identifications) initially will be enhanced through 2-weeks training in Australia and through a series of 3-day workshops in Vietnam. The trainings will be led by Australian experts with assistance from alumni of training in Australia and potentially experienced MARD scientists or Vietnamese academics. Training materials will be assembled by QDPI&F in consultation with senior FSIV scientists.  A trapping program will be established in Vietnam with simple traps provided by the project. QDPI&F will monitor the program remotely by examination of trap catches. Trap catches will provide additional records which will be entered by FSIV scientists into their database.  A Field Guide will be prepared to the pests and diseases of plantation forests in Vietnam. The Guide will be prepared by QDPIF in collaboration with FSIV, and will include field and “automontage” laboratory images, and information on hosts, impacts, distribution and management. The Guide will be suitable for scientists, regional silviculture advisors and students, will be translated into Vietnamese by FSIV, and will be printed in Vietnam. Selected extension materials (posters, pamphlets) will be prepared by FSIV based on the text and images in the Guide; the extension materials will be designed to enhance awareness of regional centres as sources of information for growers.  The workshops in each regional centre, the trapping and on-going surveillance program all will contribute to establishing the pilot network. Local visits will be used to identify key individuals who will collect and process material, liaise with growers, and communicate with FSIV, Hanoi. 7. Results and discussion 7.1. Implementation Highlights 7.1.1. Operational specimen-based forest pest and disease database  FSIV insect collection accessioned and entered into Excel spreadsheet and Forest Health Surveillance Database.

Identify key pests and diseases for each of the main plantation species grown in Vietnam  The curated FSIV Hanoi pest collection comprises 800 accessioned specimens, of which 400 have been identified to genus or species. The majority of specimens (700) have associated host data.

Surveillance training program for staff from regional research centres  The Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics Training Workshop was held in Brisbane from 16-24 February 2009. The workshop focused on enhancing practical skills among scientific and technical officers who are involved with Forest Health Surveillance. The course provided training on symptom recognition and diagnosis; surveillance methodology; damage assessment; pest risk analysis; and the collection, preservation, identification and curation of arthropod and pathogen specimens. All delegates were provided with training and reference material to help with this including: o Guidelines for surveillance for plant pests in Asia and the Pacific (Vietnamese version, ACIAR/RIRDC 2005). o Healthy hardwoods: a field guide to pests, diseases and nutritional disorders in subtropical hardwoods (Carnegie, A., S Lawson, T Smith, G Pegg, C Stone and J McDonald 2008). o Pest and disease assessment in young eucalypt plantations: Field manual for using the Crown Damage Index (Stone, C., M Matsuki and A Carnegie 2003). o Manual of Diseases of Eucalypts in South-East Asia (Old, KM, MJ Wingfield and ZQ Yuan 2003). o Interactive key to insect orders (http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/features/insects/identifying/) o Handbook of Insect Collecting: Collection, Preparation, Preservation and Storage (Smithers, CN 1982).
