Abstract
Summary The area of intensively-managed eucalypt plantations in Australia is expanding and may increase more rapidly in the next decade. Some of the insect problems associated with these plantations are likely to be different and may even have a greater economic impact than those occurring in native forests. The attitudes of forest managers towards insect problems associated with eucalypt plantations are discussed. The limited knowledge of the ecology of eucalypt-feeding insects in Australia is highlighted and insect problems that have occurred, and those likely to occur in eucalypt plantations, are discussed. The integrated management approach to insect problems in eucalypt plantations is emphasised and important areas for research are identified.
