Abstract

The Department of Forestry of Indonesia has set a development of plantation forest both industrial and community-based plantation forests as anticipation to the ever increasing global wood demands. At the same time the reforestation is aimed at preserving the natural forests.This way not only their economic importance but also environmental and social roles are maintained. In line with the policy industrial fiber plantation of fast-growing species especially acacias are being established on a large scale basis. A number of diseases have since been recorded. Root-rot is the major disease of acacias and eucalypts. Morphological and molecular characterizations by some researchers have identified Ganoderma philippii Karst as the fungal species most commonly found in association with the disease. This paper also outlines someoptions for its field management in fiber plantations including silvicultural practices andimplementation of cost-effective and environmentally sound biocontrol measures with the emphasis on Trichoderma and Gliocladium.
