Objective
For several decades now, tree diseases have been increasing, notably because of rising pollution levels. Professionals, academics and trainers (parks, forests, environmental technology, management of arboretums) have all been powerless in the face of this proliferation, and currently lack any framework that might allow them utilise the existing skills and knowledge needed to stave off the killer diseases.
This project therefore aims to develop a multimedia software package offering training and assisting with diagnosis of diseases suffered by ornamental or forest trees.
The software developed will be both an aid to decision-making and a self-training resource. The CD-ROM, produced in four languages, as well as the creation of an "on-line" site, will help to bring it to a wider audience. This initiative will initiate the creation of a future European database of plant pathologies. Various research and development institutes and training and advice bodies linked to the tree farming and forestry sector of four European countries will participate in this project.
Impact
This project will promote the harmonisation of approaches, data and diagnostic methods. Furthermore, it will help to improve the sustained management of tree resources, and ensure that European environmental regulations are better observed.
