PHYTOPHTHORA DIEBACK: Is It Killing The Plants On
Your Property?
Phytophthora dieback is a plant disease caused by the
introduced plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi.
Previously called Jarrah dieback, the disease affects over 40% of
plant species in the southwest and is recognised as a major threat
to our local biodiversity, cultural and economic values. Once soil
is infected it can not be eradicated, but through simple hygiene
and management actions, its impact and rate of spread can be
reduced.

Signage System (March 2009)
'One Signage System for All' WA's Project Dieback Team
with the State Dieback Consutative Committee, Dieback Working Group
and Department of Environment & Conservation have developed a
unified dieback signage system. This new signage, funded
by state and federal governments, has been finalised this year
and is now standard across Western Australia. It is
already in use by over ten Local Governments Agencies, plus
regional councils, NRMs and private companies. The
signage includes an integrated system using dieback
current status symbols aiming to raise dieback awareness and
to assist in protecting special areas still free from the
disease.
