Abstract:: An evaluation of the efficacy of steam treatment on reducing levels of Fusarium, Cylindrocarpon, and Trichoderma within styroblock containers was conducted at the Plum Creek Nursery in Pablo, Montana. Although levels, of both Fusarium and Cylindrocarpon were significantly reduced by cleaning, relatively high populations of both these fungi persisted after...

Abstract:: Cones of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine with extensive mold on external portions of scales were sampled for presence of fungi potentially pathogenic to conifer seedlings in nurseries. The major colonizers of cone scales and external seedcoats for both conifer species were Trichoderma spp. Penicillium spp. were also very common. The...

Abstract:: Causes of mortality of containerized western larch seedlings at the Champion Timberlands Nursery, Plains, Montana, were investigated. Seedlings were rated for disease severity based on extent of foliar decline symptoms and fungal isolations made from their roots. Isolations were also made from selected larch seed. Consistent associations between root colonization...

Abstract:: Investigations were conducted to determine importance of Fusarium as a pathogen on Douglas-fir seed and containerized seedlings at the Plum Creek Nursery during 1985. Fusarium oxvsnorum was occasionally isolated from necrotic lesions on young germinants that lacked foliar symptoms. Low levels of F. oxvsnorum were detected on three of four...

Abstract:: Containerized western larch, Douglas-fir, grand fir, subalpine fir, and ponderosa pine seedlings which displayed disease symptoms were sampled for presence of Fusarium spp. Seedlings from 33 seedlots within the Northern Region were sampled. Major types of diseases included post-emergence damping-off, root disease (late damping-off), and cotyledon blight. Fusarium oxysporum was...

Abstract:: Five seedlots of Colorado blue spruce and three seedlots of Black Hills spruce were sampled for Fusarium contamination. All seedlots contained some seed and/or debris with Fusarium. Levels of contamination were greatly reduced by treating seed with running water rinses for 48 hours or with chemical sterilants such as sodium...

Abstract:: Needlecast caused by Meria laricis caused serious losses of 2-0 bareroot western larch during 1983 at the USDA Forest Service Nursery, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Cool, wet weather throughout the spring and summer of 1983 was ideal for disease buildup and spread. Control attempts with fungicides were largely unsuccessful because of...
