Understanding red needle cast in NZ forests

Red needle cast is one of the most significant diseases affecting New Zealand's radiata pine forests. In this episode of Scigest, scientist and host Darryl Herron sits down with forest pathologist Emily McLay to discuss why the disease is such a challenge for forest growers and how our science helps forest growers better predict, prepare for and manage it.  Tune in to hear how cutting-edge research is helping protect the forests that support our economy, environment and communities.
