SUMMARY
Betula alnoides is a large species , deciduous tree reaching 30m height and 85cm diameter at breast height in natural forests and is a heliophilous species, intolerant of shade. It is difficult for this species to regenerate under closed canopies, but it grows well on the sides of newly established roads or on fallow lands after shifting cultivation. Betula alnoides is a tree species that extends in its distribution to the most southern areas in the northern hemisphere. This species is indigenous to China, Lao, Thailand, Myanma, India, Nepal and Vietnam. In Vietnam distribution of the species is in northern moutainous areas such as Lang Son, Son La, Lai Chau, Ha Giang, Quang Ninh…and some other location in high land central up to 1000m elevation in natural forests. The flowers are unisexual and amentaceous. The fruit is up to 12cm long with two to five per raceme, turning gold-yellow or yellow-brown when they ripen. The seed should be stored at low temperature and can maintain their high germination rate for more than two year. Betula adenoides can be planted at density of 1650 or 1100 trees per ha. Betula adenoides plantation grows very fast, with annual increment of 2-2.5cm or even more in diameter breath height and 1.5-2m in height.

Hypsipyla robusta Moore (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is the most damaging pest of species of Meliaceae in terms of both level of attack per individual tree and percentage of trees attacked in each plantation causing serious losses in wood quality and yield of plantations of Chukrasia, Toona, Khaya and Swietenia. Hypsipyla species are the greatest obstacle to commercial planting of these timber species. The results presented in this study indicate that host selection occurs during the oviposition process in H. robusta, with larger numbers of eggs being deposited on Chukrasia spp. seedlings grown in relatively high light environments. Furthermore, the mortality of neonate larvae on plants grown under full light conditions was lower than those on plants grown under shade environment. It contributes to manage this insect pest, and enhance productivity and yield plantations.

4. The primary research of fungal disease on some imported imported Eucalypts at the nursery stage
Summary
In the co-operation research program with the Mudorch University, Australia, the seeds of nineteen eucalypt species of 24 provenances were imported into Vietnam. They were sown and planted at the Forest Science Institute of Vietnam nursery to investigate the disease issue. The result showed that 12 species of 14 provenances were infected by diseases at different levels, in which Eucalyptus cleoziana (provenance of Cardwell, Queensland) and E. globulus (provenance of Yamabulla SF New South Wales) were infected by diseases at moderate level and E. obliqua (provenance of Maydena, Tasmania) was seriously infected by diseases at very high level. Besides, nine species of 10 provenances were not infected by disease. Three fungal species of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Pestalotiopsis neglecta and Cytospora eucalypticola were identified at this experiment, in which Cytospora eucalypticola was recorded at the first time in Vietnam with the most serious.

Forest Science Institute of Vietnam
Summary
Quambalaria cause leaf and shoot diback diseases seroiusly on Eucalyptus trees in many countries all over the world such as South Africa, Australia, Brasil, Uruguay, China and Thailand. In Vietnam, so far research on this problem has not been carried out yet. Recent desease serveys in some northern provinces of Vietnam have revealed the presence of new Eucalyptus leaf and shoot dieback disease. Some symptoms of the disease resemble those of the disease caused by Quambalaria. Finding out if Quambalaria has occured in Vietnam or not and measures for the problem are vitally pressing. One of the measures for controlling this problem is the selection of species able to be resistant to this disease. 23 Eucalyptus provernances belonging to 18 species coming from Mudorch University in a joint research project between Forest Protection Division, Forest Science Institute of Vietnam and Mudorch University, Australia are being tested. Results have shown that (1) For the first time, Quambalaria sp is found in Vietnam causing leaf and shoot diback diseases on eucalypt species; (2) 12 provernaces of 10 eucalypt species are initially chosen as ones well resistant to the disease and 11 provernaces of 10 eucalypt species are susceptibe to infection by Quambalaria sp.
