Isolates of Botrytis cinerea from containerized conifer seedlings from two
nurseries in the Northern Rocky Mountains were exposed to the
dicarboximide fungicides vinclozolin and iprodione and the chlorinated
nitroaniline fungicide dicloran to evaluate occurrence and characteristics
of resistant strains. The isolates were grown on test media prepared by
incorporating the...
Residual Douglas-fir, western larch, and lodgepole pine are dwarf mistletoe-infested and pose a threat to existing regeneration. Felling or girdling these residuals, along with sanitation/thinning, will reduce mistletoe intensity and increase future volume yields. Present net worth of the project is $48.05/acre. Benefit cost ratio is 1.97/1. Use of pest...
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...
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...
