CAPS - Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey

Survey Manuals

The purpose of the Oak Survey is to detect new infestations of targeted oak pest species at low population levels. The Oak Survey Reference provides standardized guidelines for conducting a Oak detection survey in the United States and its territories.

The Oak Survey Reference consists of an Introduction and individual pest datasheets. The individual pest datasheets are posted as free-standing documents (below).
