Best Practice Guidelines
Making correct operational decisions on the ground is difficult if there are no tools to support decision making. The transfer of knowledge to an operational tool that is both pragmatic and feasible is critical in order to effectively manage the disease.
The development of Best Practice Guidelines have enabled us to inform forest users what they need to consider when undertaking an activity in an infected forest, in order to reduce the spread of the disease.
Research has underpinned the information in some of these guidelines. For example, research into the detection of kauri dieback has informed our sampling protocols and laboratory procedures, whereas other research looking into the spatial distribution of the disease in kauri wood subsequently informs our best practice guidelines for arborists.

If you have any questions in relation to this area of research or the supporting reports please contact the Kauri Dieback team on the details below.
Please note that as more information becomes available on the nature of kauri dieback disease and the pathogen that causes it, some of these papers may be superseded.
