Project Abstract











Key achievements during the reporting period include:
• Organisation, coordination and delivery of Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics
Training Workshop in Brisbane, February 2009.
• Summary of responses to workshop evaluation questionnaires completed by workshop
delegates.
• Continued identification of pest and disease specimens from FSIV collection
• Procurement of equipment.
This project aims to establish a forest pest and disease database and reference collection, provide
training on pest surveillance and risk assessment, and establish a network of observation centres

supported by linkages with relevant national and regional organisations. The project outputs will
support forest pest detection and management, as well as provide the expertise and records to
underpin market access opportunities.
The rapid expansion of Vietnam’s forest coverage, provides opportunities for new international
export markets for timber products. However, it also represents new and increased risks from
forestry pests. Comprehensive surveillance and a database of pest and disease records are critical
to detecting incursions, managing outbreaks of pests and diseases, and producing pest lists.

Executive Summary
The project work has been undertaken by Primary Industries and Fisheries, Department of
Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (PIF DEEDI), formerly Queensland
Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (QDPI&F). Progress during the past three months has
been largely in accordance with the project Logframe. Highlights include:
• Organisation, coordination and delivery of Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics
Training Workshop in Brisbane, February 2009.
• Summary of responses to workshop evaluation questionnaires completed by workshop
delegates.
• Continued identification of pest and disease specimens from FSIV collection.
• Procurement of equipment.

Key challenges during the next six months include organising and delivering the training workshop in
Vietnam to field staff involved in Forest Health Surveillance, and starting to prepare and collate
material and resources for preparation of the Vietnam Pest and Disease Field Guide and associated
reference material.

Progress to Date
1. Implementation Highlights
General
• The Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics Training Workshop was held in Brisbane
from 16-24 February 2009. The workshop was attended by eight delegates: four from the
Forest Science Institute of Vietnam (FSIV), Hanoi; three from FSIV regional centres and one
from Plant Protection Department, Ministry of Rural and Agriculture Development (MARD).
• Identification of specimens from FSIV collection is on-going.


Objective 1
Output 1.2 Identify key pests and diseases for each of the main plantation species grown in
Vietnam; reference material of these pests and diseases assembled.
• Identification of insect specimens brought from FSIV, Hanoi collection to PIF DEEDI,

Brisbane is on-going. The list of material identified to date is included (Appendix 1).

Objective 2
Output 2.1 Surveillance training program for staff from regional research centres.
• The Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics Training Workshop was held in Brisbane
from 16-24 February 2009. The workshop program is attached (Appendix 2). There were no
significant deviations to the program during the course of the workshop.
• The workshop was attended by the following delegates from Forest Science Institute of
Vietnam (FSIV) and Ministry of Agricultural Development (MARD):
Mr Le Van BINH (FSIV- Forest Plant Protection Research Division)
Mr Ngo Van CAM (FSIV- Tropical Forest Research Centre)
Mr Nguyen Manh HA (FSIV- Forest Plant Protection Research Division)
Ms Luu Thi Hong HANH (MARD- Plant Protection Department)
Mr Nguyen Tung LAM (FSIV- North Central Vietnam Forest Scientific and Production Centre)
Ms Nguyen Hoai THU (FSIV- Forest Plant Protection Research Division)
Mr Bui Quang TIEP (FSIV- North Eastern Vietnam Forest Scientific and Production Centre)
Mr Dao Ngoc QUANG (FSIV- Forest Plant Protection Research Division).

• Facilitators and presenters at the workshop included:
Dr Simon LAWSON (PIF DEEDI)
Dr Ross WYLIE (PIF DEEDI)
Dr Judy KING (PIF DEEDI)
Dr Manon GRIFFITHS (PIF DEEDI)
Dr Tim SMITH (PIF DEEDI)
Mr Geoff PEGG (PIF DEEDI)
Ms Janet McDONALD (PIF DEEDI)
Ms Rachel WAUGH (PIF DEEDI)

• Resource and training materials were prepared and presented to delegates during the course of
the workshop (Appendix 3). Much of this material will form the theoretical and resource basis

for the training workshops to be held in Vietnam during September/October 2009. These
training workshops will complement the Brisbane workshop, targeting regional field staff and
having a strong practical emphasis.

7

• Evaluation forms were given to delegates at commencement of the workshop and again at the
end. These involved a series of statements which delegates scored according to their level of
confidence in undertaking particular activities. Comparison can be made of the pre- and post-
workshop responses to assess the effectiveness of the workshop in addressing the different
aspects of training. During the post-workshop evaluation we also obtained feedback on the
organisation and running of the workshop to help in the development of similar training
workshops in the future. Evaluation forms and summarised responses are included (Appendix
4).
• At completion of the workshop each delegate was presented with a certificate of completion
(Appendix 5) and a CD containing copies of all presentations and materials handed out during
the course. A copy of this CD has been lodged at the FSIV library in Hanoi to be available to
any interested staff.
• An initial planning exercise for designing forest health surveys in each of the four regions
represented was carried out during the workshop. Target hosts and pests were broadly defined
for each of the regions, timing of surveys and survey methodologies to be used and how many
people in each region were to be on-trained to assist in carrying out surveys. A summary of
this session are provided in tabular format in Appendix 6.

Objective 3
Output 3.1 Network of suitably equipped surveillance centres established at three regional
centres throughout Vietnam.

• The three FSIV regional centres to be established and equipped as surveillance centres have
been identified as:

o Tropical Forest Research Centre, Chi Lang, Pleiku, Gia Lai.
o North Central Vietnam Forest Scientific and Production Centre, Dong Ha, Quang Tri.
o North Eastern Vietnam Forest Scientific and Production Centre, Ngoc Thanh, Vinh Phuc.

A delegate from each of these nominated centres was present at the workshop and will
provide a focal point for further training and surveillance work within the region. In addition
to the general field equipment and collecting and setting materials provided to each delegate
these regional representatives have also received:
o GPS unit.
o Maggy lamp for specimen sorting (delivered directly to Hanoi).
o Insect storage boxes (delivered directly to Hanoi).
o Intercept panel traps (delivered directly to Hanoi).

Output 3.2 Ongoing Forest Health Surveillance and Static trapping Programs initiated in each
regional centre.

• Staff from the three regional centres were trained in various aspects of Forest Health
Surveillance and Static Trapping Programs. They will on-train staff in their regions following
their return to Vietnam. All delegates were provided with training and reference material to
help with this including:

o Guidelines for surveillance for plant pests in Asia and the Pacific (Vietnamese
version, ACIAR/RIRDC 2005).
o Healthy hardwoods: a field guide to pests, diseases and nutritional disorders in
subtropical hardwoods (Carnegie, A., S Lawson, T Smith, G Pegg, C Stone and J
McDonald 2008).
o Pest and disease assessment in young eucalypt plantations: Field manual for using
the Crown Damage Index (Stone, C., M Matsuki and A Carnegie 2003).
o Manual of Diseases of Eucalypts in South-East Asia (Old, KM, MJ Wingfield and
ZQ Yuan 2003).

o Interactive key to insect orders (
o Handbook of Insect Collecting: Collection, Preparation, Preservation and Storage
(Smithers, CN 1982).


Objective 4

Output 4.1 Joint training in surveillance and diagnostics for FSIV and MARD.

• The training workshop included seven delegates from FSIV and one from MARD. The
workshop and training sessions in Vietnam in October 2009 will also include relevant
MARD staff whenever possible.

Objective 5 Manage and report on project.

Refer to the attached Progress Report Logframe for further details.
2. Smallholder Benefits
The stakeholder survey was developed with consideration for assessing the current knowledge and
future requirements of smallholders with respect to forestry pest and disease issues.
3. Capacity Building
The Forest Health Surveillance and Diagnostics Training Workshop held in Brisbane in February
2009 was a major capacity building component of the project.
4. Publicity
Contribution to CARD publications based on training in Australia is planned.
5. Project Management
Communication between project staff in Australia (Brisbane and Canberra) and Vietnam has been
very good. DAFF staff in Canberra provided invaluable logistic and administrative support in

preparation for the workshop, particularly in relation to the preparation of invitations, questionnaires,
and certificates. Workshop organisation was greatly assisted by numerous email exchanges between
organisers and delegates prior to the workshop. Since the workshop there have been a number of
requests from delegates for further information and advice on pests of forestry and other crops.
Report on Cross-Cutting Issues
1. Environment
There have been no major (negative) environmental issues associated with the Project to date.
2. Gender and Social Issues
There has been no opportunity to assess gender or social impacts in the project to date. Two of the
eight workshop delegates were women. To achieve this, the workshop organisers asked that one
delegate be reconsidered and the inclusion of a second female was successfully requested.
