This study presents potential Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for the Ash Creek watershed and designs several tools to assist localities in implementing the solutions they may choose. Ash Creek is a tributary of the Willamette River flowing through Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence in Polk County, Oregon. Currently, Ash Creek...
Benomyl and chlorothalonil were tested on 2-0 bareroot ponderosa pine seedlings as a means to reduce impact of Diplodia tip blight at the Fantasy Farms Nursery, Peck, Idaho. Infection levels were not adequate to assess effectiveness of the fungicides. However, techniques were developed which can be used to assess efficacy...
During 1984, a demonstration project was established on the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservations to determine the effectiveness of basal area cutting in second-growth ponderosa pine stands to reduce losses to the mountain pine beetle. This project will help develop management strategies for susceptible stands in eastern Montana. Four...
Preplant soil treatments were implemented to determine effects on populations of potentiallypathogenic Fusarium and potentially disease-suppressive Trichoderma spp. as well as root colonization by these and other selected fungi on healthy-appearing, bare root 2-0 western white pine seedlings at the USDA Forest Service Nursery, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Soil treatments included...
Healthy-appearing 1-0 ponderosa and lodgepole pine seedlings were assayed for root infection and colonization by potentially-pathogenic fungi following pre-sowing soil treatments which included methyl bromide/chloropicrin (MBC) fumigation, fallowing with or/without periodic cultivation, and amending soil with mushroom composts or undecomposed sawdust. Levels of root colonization by Fusarium spp. on both...
An impact survey to determine extent and distribution of root disease centers was completed for the Nezperce National Forest, Idaho, in 1980. Lowlevel
color infrared photography was used to delineate root disease centers
within National Forest inventory subcompartments. Suspected root disease
centers were ground checked to determine associated fungi and...
To bring together in systematic and usable form the bulk of the information dealing with Douglas fir logging costs thus far acquired, so as to make it accessible, is the object of this publication.
