Abstract
The paper presents the results of an analysis of monitoring the health status of Sweet
chestnut on permanent experimental plots, established in the areas of the Forest Administration
Branch Offices of Zagreb and Sisak. Five permanent experimental plots were
established: Sljeme, Marku{evac, Bistra, Vu~jak Tje{njak and [amarica. Monitoring of
blight/canker has been carried out since 2002. The results show an increased number of
infected and dry trees, and the number of canerous formations in relation to the number of
infected trees and the total number of trees, from which it can be concluded that Sweet
chestnut blight/canker is in progression. Development of the disease is also potentiated by
the overall poor condition of the chestnut stands.
