This field survey guidance therefore 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.

This field survey guidance therefore provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), to survey Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, a key pest commonly known as red palm weevil. This field survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. It also provides visuals and guidance on recommended pest traps.

This field survey guidance therefore provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), to survey for Bactrocera spp ., a key pest commonly called fruit fly. This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and identification of Bactrocera spp., ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. To simplify identification, this document also provides visuals and guidance on recommended pest traps for the different fruit fly species.

The IPPC Secretariat and the IPPC community are grateful to all the institutions that contributed to the production of this technical resource. This document presents guidance to national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to support active surveillance, detection, diagnostics, control and prevention of Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus. This survey guide was created with technical and financial support from developed countries partnering with the IPPC, in the framework of the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), and reviewed by technical officers at the IPPC Secretariat.

This field survey guidance therefore provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), to survey for Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, commonly known as citrus greening is a pest of regulatory, economic and environmental significance in Africa.

This field survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), particularly in Africa, to survey Diastocera trifasciata, commonly known as the Stem girdler. This document outlines a standardised protocol to support monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Diastocera trifasciata, for effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products.

This document presents guidance to national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to support active surveillance, detection, diagnostics, control and prevention of Ralstonia solanacearum. This document was developed with technical support from the developed countries partnering with the IPPC, in the framework of the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), and reviewed by technical officers at the IPPC Secretariat.

This survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to survey for Thaumatotibia leucotreta, a major plant pest commonly known as False codling moth. This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Thaumatotibia leucotreta, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. This document also provides visuals and guidance on recommenced pest trapping.

This field survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to survey for Xylella fastidiosa, a major plant disease. This document provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and diagnostics for Xylella fastidiosa, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect cross-border trade.

Plant health surveillance data protocols describe the required fields and controlled vocabulary to produce a valid pest record for a pest or pest group using the Pest Record Specification. Data protocols are subordinate documents to the Technical Reference Guides (TRGs) and may also be created for pests that are not subject to a TRG.
