Q

Management and COntrol for Dutch Elm Disease?

A

• Practice sound horticultural to maintain plant vigor

  • Remove and destroy infected plant material
  • Monitor vector populations with sticky cards
  • Use residual insecticides late in the dormant season • Sever root grafts
  • Implement chemotherapy with injectable fungicides • Avoid pure stands of elms
  • Choose disease-resistant cultivars

Q

What bacterium is the cause of Bacterial Leaf Scorch?

A

Xylella fastidiosa

17
Q

Bacterial Leaf Scorch Vectors:

A
  • Tree Hoppers
  • Leaf Hoppers
18
Q

How does the bacteria Xylella affect its host?

A

Forms biofilms in the xylem that block the flow of fluids.

19
Q

Pre-Emergant damping off means:

A

The fungus killed the seed or seedling before it germinated.

20
Q

post-emergent damping off means:

A

It came out of the ground, and it killed the seedling, after it germinated.

22
Q

what root rot fungus can move into the plant through both the roots and through plant tissue?

23
Q

How would you approach crown and root rot problems in an ornamental bed?

A
  • • Exclude the disease with vigorous sanitation
  • • Eradicate affected plant material
  • • Maintain resistance with sound horticulture
  • • Protect the plants with regular fungicide applications
    • BanRot - Combination fungicide
    • or Mix Compass & Subdue Maxx
24
Q

How does Shoestring Root Rot access its host?

A

It gets in through mechnical Damage or in the “butt” of the tree

25
what does Phytopthora mean?
* Means "Plant Destroyer"
26
Phytopthora can cause bleeding cankers in the bak of trees. True or False?
True
