A new Defra-funded Phytophthora ramorum and P. kernoviae Disease Management Programme began in April 2009. New research will be commissioned to support the main activities of the programme. The rationale, policy objectives and science objectives are laid out in a ROAME document against which the research will be commissioned from 2009.

Details of any calls in 2009 will be available from the Defra website in due course from August 2009.
