Sažetak
Quarantine pest pose great threat to our forest stands. Researchers of Croatian Forest Research Institute are conducting surveys of quarantine pest threatening Croatian forests, and those are funded by European Commission in 75% extent. Monitoring of Monochamus spp. as potential vector of invasive Bursaphelenchus xylophilus that causes very serious pine wilt disease is being performed in Croatia since 2010. Main tool for monitoring the pest are still pheromone traps focused on forest stands with major host trees of the pest, equipped with various kind of lures. European food safety authority (EFSA) is recommending usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a versatile remote sensing-based toolkit for monitoring forest health and occurrence of forest pests. Forests are being inspected with lightweight UAV equipped with high quality RGB camera with which we can inspect up to 15 ha with one battery. Data collected with UAV is processed with software that georeferences images, meaning that the image can be related to geographic coordinate system, and from those we can easily detect potentially infested trees with Monochamus spp.
