Needle tip dieback of 2-0 ponderosa pine seedlings at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery was investigated. Organisms associated with dieback symptoms were identified and infected trees were transplanted to determine disease effects on survival. The major fungus colonizing necrotic needles was Lophodermium nitens, a close associate of L. pinastri. The fungus...

There are four sources of biomass fuels for generating electricity in southwest Oregon: noncommercial hardwoods, logging residues, mill residues, and municipal solid wastes. Noncommercial hardwoods and logging residues exist in sufficient quantities to support 100 MWe of generating capacity for 20 years. Logging residues are costly to harvest and would...
Root disease of 2-0 western white pine seedlings occurred at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery in 1982 within seedbeds fumigated with methyl bromide and chloropicrin. Although losses were not substantial, there were several groups of dead seedlings within affected seedbeds. Fusarium oxysporum was most often isolated from diseased roots. Other Fusarium...
Five fungicides were evaluated to control Botrytis blight of containerized western larch seedlings at the Champion Timberlands Nursery, Plains, MT. Fungicides were applied at biweekly intervals before and after seedling inoculation with Botrytis. Vinclozolin (Ornalin®) caused severe phytotoxicity to seedlings, resulting in enhanced mortality and premature needle loss. Captan and...
Tests were conducted to determine levels of tolerance of 10 Botrytis cinerea isolates from the Flathead Indian Reservation greenhouse (Ronan, MT) to six fungicides. In vitro growth and conidial germination on fungicide-amended potato dextrose agar were used as criteria for assessing tolerance. All tested isolates were tolerant to benomyl and...

Residual Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine are dwarf mistletoe-infested and pose a threat to existing regeneration. Felling or girdling these residuals, along with sanitation/thinning of dense patches of regeneration, will reduce dwarf mistletoe intensity and increase future volume yields. Present net worth of the projects ranges from -$1 to $39 per...

Six fungicides were evaluated to control Botrytis blight of western 41 larch in seedbeds at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery. Fungicides were applied at biweekly intervals during the spring of 1982; test seedlings were inoculated with spores of B. cinerea twice during the evaluation period. Seedling mortality and height were recorded...

Comparisons were made to determine how the uncertainty of initial inventories and projected yields affect harvest schedules for Douglas-fir. Results indicate that short-run harvests are most affected by errors in initial inventory, with the effect being less than the size of the error. Long-run harvests are most affected by yield...
The research effort described in this report explores the whole question of optimization of irrigation system design, planning and operations. Optimum irrigation practices, in theory, may involve some degree of deficit irrigation (deliberate under-irrigation of crops), hence the focus of this research was the use of deficit irrigation under practical...

An investment is an expenditure made with expectation of future gains, financial or otherwise. Dwarf mistletoe management, and even forest management itself, often involves investment for social and community benefits without expectations of direct financial gain. The USDA Forest Service Northern Region's dwarf mistletoe program, 1966 to 1981, is used...
Douglas-fir tussock moth populations are monitored annually in northern Idaho and western Montana to insure early detection of changes from endemic to outbreak population levels. Adult moth trapping in 1982 was intensified and expanded into additional areas from 1981 because of concern that with each passing year the probability of...
Epiphytic, planktonic and benthic diatom assemblages were investigated in Netarts Bay, Oregon. Samples were collected for a
one-year period from February 1980 to March 1981. A planktonic flora was observed only during periods of offshore enrichment when marine neritic species were abundant and were transported into the bay by tidal...
