"The polyphagous shot hole borer is eating the front door." Having been a part of South Africa's response (lead by @Fabiteam1), I'm sharing our experience with colleagues here in Aotearoa at a bark & ambrosia beetle workshop. Hoping to get a collaboration going 💪🏽 @zwdebeer

Projects
During the past few decades the area of eucalypt plantations around the world has expanded dramatically, supported by exceptional tree growth and performance. Over time the incidence and impact of insect pests has increased and now poses a major impediment to the continued expansion of this important industry.
Partners
BiCEP is actively seeking collaboration with other organisations worldwide as we continue to develop this project.
