Pests and diseases of truffles and their tree hosts in Australia

This project was undertaken to assist the relatively new Australian agriculture industry of truffle production identify key pest and disease threats and investigate ways in which the key agents may be managed to remove or minimise their adverse effects on the quality, and quantity of truffles. The project also sought to extend the foundation laid by others on pests and diseases that might affect the health of the host trees as well as truffles.
