Summary
The level of defoliation caused by larvae of autumn gum moth (Mnesampela privata) and of leaf necrosis caused by larvae of leatblister sawfly (Phylacteophaga froggatti) were compared between different provenances of blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) grown in plantations on farmland west of Melbourne and near Tatura in north-central Victoria. The King Island provenance is more resistant to autumn gum moth and leafblister sawfly than provenances from other Bass Strait islands, Tasmania and Victoria.
