The second scientific Chestnut conference named as a \u201cDevelop of Institutional mechanism in function of Chestnut forests protection\u201d held on 29 March 2018 in Bu\u017eim. The conference gathered huge number of Eminent professionals from Bihac region, Executive and Legislative representatives of Una \u2013 Sana canton, as well as the other scientific workers, association\u2019s and chamber\u2019s representatives from agriculture field.
\nThe Chestnut as one of the most important natural resources in this region came up into attention in the past few Years because of the Chestnut Gall Wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) and Chestnut bark cancer. Attention gathered Scientific workers as well, regarding to the damages and diseases of this pathogen in the Chestnut forests. Even though, the Chestnut importance has been for the past Years well recognized, nothing is done to preserve and protect Chestnut forests and to source all of its benefits as a natural and economical potentiality. The Host and promoter was Municipality of Bu\u017eim and solemnly was opened by Municipality Major Mr. Zikrija Durakovi\u0107.
\nChestnut Gall Wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) is the biggest pathogen of Sweet Chestnut which systematically destroys Chestnut Forests in the Una \u2013 Sana canton.
