INFORMATION CIRCULAR  

February 1985  

Classification  

Plant Protection  

Serial No. 94  

PLANT PROTECTION NEWS  

NEW PROBLEMS  

Compiled by  

SPC Plant Protection Officer  

Bob kin  

1. Niue  

During visit to Niue in May 1984, Grahame Jackson of the Suva-based UNDP/FAO-SPC  

Project RAS/83/001. found examples of sweet potatoes with little leaf symptoms.  

By pure coincidence. SPC Plant Protection Advisory Leaflet 19 is on sweet potato little leaf,  

.<ten by Grahame and Mike Pearson of the University of Auckland. New Zealand.  

2. Fiji  

By far the most significant new pest discovered in new country within the Region was the  

detection of Papuana huebneri in Fiji.  

Ihe initial inlection was detected in June 1984 and confirmation of the identity of the  

insect obtained in August. An eradication campaign was then planned and begun in late August.  

I’he initial intestation was found at Veisari, community about ten km from Suva. This  

village and land for radius of one km were quarantined and all susceptible plant material was  

harvested, chopped up and the soil treated with BHC dust. Subsequently small area of infesta-  

tion was discovered at Qauia on the edge of the quarantine zone. Dozens of labourers were em-  

ployed in removing and destroying plant material and the first phase of the campaign was/’om-  

pleted at the end of November.  

Resurveying of the area has detected only dead insects in the treated soil. However, some of  

the zone had to be re-worked when the ferns, Angiopteris spp., were found to be hosts.  

Fortunately, the Veisari and Qauia areas are not used for commercial production of taro and  

therefore the chances of movement of the pest to other areas are slight.  

Papuana beetles are found in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islandsand Kiribati. Veisari is  

Gilbertese community village.  

Jai Kumar (Senior Research Officer, Plant Pathology) reports the occurrence of the follow-  

ingdiseases for the first time in Fiji:  

Zingiber officinale (ginger) Fusarium ox vsporum  

Pa ssi flora edulis (passionfruit) Phomopsis sp.  

Dacus carota (carrot) Cercospora carotae  

Manihot esculenta (cassava) Periconia manihoticola  

Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea) Phyllosticta cajani  

and Mycovellosiella cajani var. indica
