Growing healthy seedlings : identification and management of pests in Northwest forest nurseries
This book provides an illustrated guide to the identification and management of fungi, insects, and abiotic conditions that cause problems in Northwest bareroot conifer nurseries. A key to nursery pests offers initial guidance in identification. Separate chapters address individual pests with details on recognition, damage cycle, and management practices to reduce losses. A final chapter discusses the integration of pest-management practices into the entire nursery operation. Tables of pesticides and pests controlled, a checklist of control activities keyed to the seedling growth cycle, and a glossary of terms conclude the book
