  • The Detection of Phytophthora Taxon “Agathis” in the Second Round of Surveillance Sampling
    The detection of Phytophthora Taxon “Agathis” in the second round of surveillance sampling - with discussion of the implications for kauri dieback management of all surveillance activity A J Beauchamp Shared Services Threats and Transformation Department of Conservation for Joint Agency Kauri Dieback Response 18 April 2013 Executive summary Kauri dieback caused by Phytophthora taxon “Agathis” (PTA) (Beever et al. 2009), has been the subject of a joint agency response since 2009. Surveillance 2 aimed at a more comprehensive assessment of the location of PTA and its movement (Beauchamp 2011a). It added to the information from Surveillance 1 and a targeted assessment at Waipoua (Beauchamp 2011b, 2011c, 2011d). It also added to the surveying of the Auckland region, done by Auckland Council using different methods of data collection and only one assessment laboratory at Plant and Food Research (Nick Waipara, pers comm.). Surveillance 2 sampled 89 sites and took 212 samples (Fig 1). Eighty five percent of the samples included Kauri from seedlings to iconic large trees. Sites lacking Kauri include other vegetated areas of native bush and plantations associated with kauri plantations in the Coromandel and farm sites. The overall picture that emerges from all surveillance and sampling is that four forested areas have parts that contain a lot of foci; Waipoua, Waitakere, Punaruku and Aotea/Great Barrier Island. There are also extensive areas of small patches and reserves in the predominantly rural area between Auckland and the Brynderwyns that are contaminated. Sites at Aotea/Great Barrier Island, Centennial Park (Waitakere) and Tomarata all showed signs of dieback in the late 1960s and early 1970s and sampling in Surveillance 2 suggests this was PTA.
