There should be standard operating procedures for each prevention project to ensure its completion and improvement. In the evaluation process of the prevention and control agents, the Forest Research Institute found many blind spots in the use of the pathogenicity of tree brown root disease, and the main inconvenience is the lack of specific result for inspection within a short time, while the wood decay fungus characteristics of brown root disease can provide a relatively fast and accurate evaluation basis, that is, observing the pathogen-tree brown root disease fungi to determine the prevention and control effect.
