SUMMARY:Phytophthora Root Rot – Understanding a Complex Problem
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Jerry Weiland\, Research Plant Pathologist\, USDA-Agricultural Research Service \nPhytophthora root rot has been a persistent problem in the nursery industry for almost 100 years. Yet\, despite decades of research\, there has been little progress in improving control of this disease. This session will explain why root rot has become more difficult to control over time and will cover the latest research on pathogen biology and fungicide management. Case studies will be used to illustrate the consequences of nursery production decisions on overall disease control and management recommendations will be provided. \n\nDr. Jerry Weiland\, patólogo de plantas de investigación\, Servicio de investigación agrícola de la USDA \nPudrición de las raíces debido al Phytophthora: entendamos un problema complejo \nLa pudrición de las raíces debido al Phytophthora ha constituido un problema constante en la industria de los viveros durante casi 100 años. Sin embargo\, a pesar de décadas de investigación\, ha habido pocos avances en la mejora del control de esta enfermedad. En esta sesión explicaremos por qué con el paso del tiempo la pudrición de las raíces se ha vuelto un problema cada vez más difícil de controlar y hablaremos de las últimas investigaciones sobre la biología de patógenos y el manejo de fungicidas. Nos basaremos en estudios de casos para ilustrar las consecuencias de las decisiones de producción de los viveros sobre el control general de enfermedades y daremos recomendaciones para su manejo.

SUMMARY:The UC Landscape Plants Irrigation Trials (Part One)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lorence Oki\, Ph.D.\, Specialist in Cooperative Extension\, University of California\, Davis \nThe University of California Landscape Plants Irrigation Trials project evaluates performance of plants exposed to three different irrigation treatments based on evapotranspiration (ETo). The data collected leads to recommendations for irrigating those plants that are used by landscape designers and architects to design landscapes that comply with California water conservation regulations. This project started in 2004 as a graduate student research project\, was expanded periodically\, and then duplicated at the UC South Coast Research and Extension Center in 2017. We will discuss plant lists\, data collected\, irrigation recommendations\, and project background.

SUMMARY:People\, Plants and a Backyard - An Exploration of How and Why We Interpret Urban Landscapes the Way We Do
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alan Shay\, Senior Instructor\, Horticulture Department\, Oregon State University \nIn this presentation we will examine the cultural heritage we in the west have inherited that leads us to react to management in landscapes in a particular fashion. Can we afford to prioritize aesthetics over functionality in a world of rapidly diminishing resources and climate change? How can we design landscapes sensibly\, that look good and still make a profit for ourselves? It’s all about education.

SUMMARY:What Do Washing Dishes and Sanitation for Plant Production Have in Common?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: George Grant\, GGSPro Technical Specialist Supervisor\, Griffin Greenhouse Supplies \nRegardless of your standard operating procedures\, sanitation is a key factor in having a successful season. Very few management practices have the duality of being preventative\, curative\, and cost-effective whereas a strong pre-season and mid-season sanitation plan does. For this reason\, we strongly focus on maintaining clean production spaces\, inputs\, and equipment to manage a wide variety of plant-related issues. Surprisingly\, there are scenarios we run into in our daily lives that overlap with plant production such as washing dirty dishes. We will use these common scenarios to help demonstrate the cultural and chemical steps necessary for effective sanitation.

SUMMARY:A Milkweed Contamination Study Spotlights Pollinator-Safe Growing - An Oregon Nursery Shows the Way
DESCRIPTION:Co-Presenters:\nSharon Selvaggio\, Pesticide Program Specialist\, Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation\nSam Bidwell\, Integrated Pest Manager\, Log House Plants; Founder\, Sunnyside Sam’s Wholesale \nPeople across the country are working to help restore monarch butterflies by planting milkweed. A recent study showed that milkweed plants purchased from garden centers across the country contained a wide variety of pesticide residues\, putting monarchs at risk. Other butterflies may be in similar danger. In this seminar\, we invite a thoughtful conversation about how nurseries can use practices that result in pollinator-safe plants. We will present the findings and implications of the milkweed study and share examples of how a local nursery\, Log House Plants\, puts pollinator safe growing into practice\, including an overview of how it started with Log House Plants’ Butterfly Bed and Breakfast host plant program. \n\nCopresentadores:\nSharon Selvaggio\, especialista del Programa de pesticidas\, Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation\nSam Bidwell\, encargado del Control Integrado de Plagas\, Log House Plants; Fundador\, Sunnyside Sam’s Wholesale \nCómo producir plantas sin usar pesticidas dañinos para los polinizadores: ¿por qué es importante y cómo lo está logrando un vivero de Oregon? \nPersonas de todo el país están trabajando para ayudar en la conservación de las mariposas monarca mediante la plantación de algodoncillo. Un estudio reciente mostró que las plantas de algodoncillo adquiridas en viveros de todo el país contenían una amplia variedad de residuos de pesticidas\, lo cual pone en riesgo a las mariposas monarca. En este seminario\, los invitamos a tener una conversación reflexiva sobre cómo los viveros pueden implementar prácticas que den como resultado plantas que sean seguras para los polinizadores. Presentaremos los hallazgos y las implicaciones del estudio de algodoncillo y daremos ejemplos de cómo un vivero local\, Log House Plants\, pone en práctica el cultivo seguro de polinizadores.

SUMMARY:Crop Protection and Cultural Considerations When Propagating
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: George Grant\, GGSPro Technical Specialist Supervisor\, Griffin Greenhouse Supplies \nPropagation is a balance between maintaining an environment conducive to young plant production while managing a myriad of insect and disease pests that also thrive in these conditions. We will walk through various cultural\, chemical\, and biological inputs useful when propagating to ensure an efficiently and cleanly grown product. Strategies discussed during this presentation include moisture management\, biological and conventional pesticides for below and above ground pests\, cleaning up material using plant dips\, sanitation steps\, use of plant root stimulants and more! \n\nGeorge Grant\, Supervisor Técnico Especialista de GGSPro\, Griffin Greenhouse Supplies\nProtección de cultivos y consideraciones culturales que deben tomarse en cuenta al momento de la propagación \nLa propagación consiste en un equilibrio entre mantener un ambiente propicio para la producción de plantas jóvenes y al mismo tiempo controlar una infinidad de plagas de insectos y enfermedades que también favorecen estas condiciones. Hablaremos sobre diversos aportes culturales\, químicos y biológicos que resultan útiles al momento de la propagación para garantizar un producto eficaz y cultivado de forma limpia. Las estrategias abordadas durante esta presentación incluyen el control de la humedad\, pesticidas biológicos y convencionales para las plagas que se encuentran sobre y debajo del suelo\, materiales de limpieza mediante inmersión de plantas\, etapas de saneamiento\, uso de estimulantes de raíces de plantas\, entre otras.

SUMMARY:Solving Plant Problems Virtually
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: George Grant\, GGSPro Technical Specialist\, Griffin Greenhouse Supplies\nWhether a grower is working internally with their cultivation team or externally with cooperative extension personnel\, product vendor representatives or technical specialists often rely on some form of virtual communication (e.g.\, cellphones\, emails\, or video conferences). We are all familiar with the saying\, “a picture is worth a thousand words\,” but knowing what picture to take and what information to gather before reaching out for consultation is important in diagnosing an issue correctly and efficiently. The objective of this presentation will be to build a checklist growers can use for gathering valuable information once they have identified an issue in their production setting.
