Coconut Pests & Diseases Toolkit and a new movie on diagnosis of phytoplasma diseases

On behalf of the Pacific Community and the Coconut Industry Development for the Pacific (CIDP) programme funded by the European Union, Pacific Biosecurity developed a training package for Coconut Pests and Diseases in the Pacific. The training package is implemented as a content-managed web solution, the Coconut Pests & Diseases Toolkit, in a similar way to the Pacific Invasive Ant Toolkit.

Drs R. Bourdeix, F Pilet and T. Namory also produced a short movie describing a sampling technique for Diagnosis of Lethal Yellowing-Like Diseases caused by phytoplasma.
