The ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY is undertaking a web survey of four invasive non-native insects: you can help them track Rosemary beetle, Lily beetle, Berberis sawfly and Hemerocallis gall midge.
The RHS is also carrying out research on a diversity of plant pathology problems:
- RHS plant disease projects (Armillaria; Box blight; Cylindrocladium buxicola; Identification of powdery mildew on Catalpa, Wisteria; Neoerysiphe galeopsidis on Catalpa, Acanthus and Lamium; Phytophthora; Pythium)
- RHS plant pest projects (Control of Hemerocallis gall midge; Running a light trap as part of the Rothamsted moth survey)
- RHS advice on non-native invasive plant species
