Abstract
A review is given of historical aspects of the epidemic pine wilt disease and the associated control activities in Japan. Critical assessments of currently available control tactics, a summary of on‐going research and an account of the prospects for integrated pest management of the disease are given. Research on the most appropriate application of direct control tactics are emphasized in this review, in addition to the necessity for long‐term, intensive work on the environmental impact of chemicals.
