Defra, UK - Plant Health

Plant Health aims to minimise outbreaks of serious plant diseases and pests, partly by stopping alien pests getting into the UK, and partly by keeping a high standard of Plant Health in some important economic crops You can learn more by following the journey of a Colorado beetle (click left), and then get more detailed information including posters and badges Or click here (pdf) for a report on the Gypsy Moth outbreak in north-east London which involved local schools What's it like for a fifteen year-old on work placement in Plant Health ?
