The aim of project is to develop the statistical analysis and planning of the official pine wood nematode surveys conducted in Finland. First, we will assess the probability of freedom from pine wood nematode achieved in the annual surveys carried out since 2000. Then, we will prepare a risk based survey plan that fulfills the requirements laid down in the new EU plant health law (2016/2031). In addition, we will assess the suitability of the climate in Finland for the pine wild disase symptoms to appear.
