Resumen
Descripción
Pine dieback, caused by bark beetles, is severely damaging Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) in Belarus and Ukraine. Bark beetles usually attack
dead or dying trees and serve as primary decomposers. However, under stressful conditions, such as drought or
high tree density, they can attack and destroy healthy trees in large numbers, overcoming tree defenses.
To face this situation, FAO is providing technical assistance for combating the dieback of pine forests using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies.
