Eucalyptus sp. Such as E. camaldulensis, E. grandis, E. urophylla and E. tereticornis are fact-growing tree species and since 1985 has become the major economic plantation species for wood fiber production at lower elevation areas in Eastern Taiwan. This report describe the diseases and disorders found in the nursery and eucalypt plantations including disease symptoms, the pathogens and the disease serverity. Reported diseases include crown gall, bacterial wilt, little-leaf, seedling blight, angular leaf spot, leaf spot, brown spot, leaf rust, grey mold, shoot blight, stem canker, and butt rot. Several non-infectious diseases including the leaf red spot, gummosis, herbicide in jury, typhoon damage and genetic albinism and an unidentified leaf crinkle disease are also described. Among the eucalypt diseased, bacterial wilt, little-leaf, seedling, brown spot, leaf rust, shoot blight, stem canker and butt rot are new disease records in Taiwan.
