Guide
to Implementation of Phytosanitary Standards in
Forestry (2011) / YouTube
Rap by Dr. Kerry Britton -- Don't
be Bugged by Pests - go FAO!
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations. FAO Forestry Paper 164.
This guide, produced by an international group
of scientists, phytosanitary authorities, forest
experts and industry representatives and reviewed
by more than 100 specialists from 46 countries,
provides easy-to-understand information on how
good forest management practices and well implemented
phytosanitary standards can minimize pest spread
and facilitate safe trade. The guide
will be of vital interest to people involved in
nursery activities, planting, managing, harvesting,
manufacturing, trading and transporting forest
products. It will also benefit forest policy-makers,
planners, managers and educators, particularly
in developing countries.

manual will
help equipment operators gain a better understanding of how invasive plants and
animals are spread by contaminated equipment into new locations and has broad
applications for many organizations and agencies.
