SUMMARY:Developing a Biological Control Strategy that Works for You
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karen Stever\, Ph.D.\, GGSPro technical specialist\, Griffin Greenhouse Supplies \nPESTICIDE CLASS- SPANISH TRANSLATION\nSuccess with biological pest control requires developing a strategy that accounts for the nature of the crops being grown\, environmental conditions\, and expected pests. Another important element of developing an effective biocontrol strategy is defining what success means. For many\, maintaining a target pest pressure threshold without solely relying on\, or even eliminating\, the use of pesticides is the primary goal. Stever will discuss a bi-weekly preventative approach which can serve as a program for a grower using biological control agents (BCAs) for the first time\, or as an effective base plan that can be tailored to a wide variety of crop situations.

SUMMARY:Flathead Borers in Nursery and Orchards
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Melissa Scherr\, Ph.D.\, Research Associate\, Nursery Crops\, Oregon State University Extension \nFlathead borers can be serious pests of nursery trees and tree nut and fruit crops in the Pacific Northwest. In particular\, two flathead borers in the genus Chrysobothris — C. femorata (flatheaded apple tree borer) and C. mali (Pacific flatheaded borer) — contribute damage in many different deciduous trees and shrubs grown commercially\, weakening or even killing trees by girdling the trunk or branches. A third species\, C. nixa\, attacks cedar and juniper nursery trees. The flatheaded apple tree borer is a common pest in the Eastern and Central United States\, while the Pacific flatheaded borer and flatheaded cedar borer are only found west of the Rockies. The Pacific Northwest region is home to all three species. \n\nMelissa Scherr\, Ph.D.\, investigadora asociada\, cultivos en viveros\, Extensión de la Universidad Estatal de Oregon \nBarrenillos de cabeza aplanada en viveros y huertos de árboles frutales \nLos barrenillos de cabeza aplanada pueden constituir plagas graves en árboles de viveros y cultivos de frutos y nueces de árboles en el noroeste del Pacífico. En particular\, dos barrenillos de cabeza aplanada del género Chrysobothris: C. femorata (barrenillo de cabeza aplanada presente en los manzanos) y C. mali (barrenillo de cabeza aplanada del Pacífico)\, contribuyen al daño de muchos árboles caducifolios distintos y arbustos cultivados comercialmente\, lo que debilita o incluso mata a los árboles al dejar sin corteza el tronco o las ramas. Una tercera especie: C. nixa\, ataca a los viveros de cedros y juníperos. El barrenillo de cabeza aplanada presente en los manzanos es una plaga común en el este y centro de los Estados Unidos\, mientras que el barrenillo de cabeza aplanada del Pacífico y el barrenillo de cabeza aplanada presente en los cedros solo se encuentran en el oeste de las Montañas Rocosas. La región del noroeste del Pacífico es el hogar de estas tres especies.

SUMMARY:Biopesticides: The Ideal Team Players in Plant Health Programs with a Focus on Biofungicides
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Brownbridge\, Ph.D.\, Biological Program Manager\, Plant Diseases\, BioWorks Inc. \nIn North America\, moves to adopt more biological inputs in plant production are driven by issues with pesticide resistance\, market trends and restrictive re-entry intervals. This is where biopesticides can help. Their unique modes of action bring value in resistance management. The fact that they are derived from natural sources makes them more acceptable to consumers\, and their safety means they can be applied with minimal disruption to day-to-day crop management activities. Yet there are still many misconceptions around what biopesticides are\, their efficacy\, and where and how they can be used. This presentation focuses on the use of biofungicides and their effective positioning in plant health programs. \n\nMichael Brownbridge\, Ph.D.\, gestor del Programa Biológico\, Enfermedades de las plantas\, BioWorks Inc. \nBiopesticidas: los elementos ideales en los programas de salud de las plantas con un enfoque en los biofungicidas \nEn Norteamérica\, las acciones para adoptar más insumos biológicos en la producción de plantas están impulsadas por problemas asociados con la resistencia a los pesticidas\, las tendencias del mercado y los intervalos de entrada restringidos (Restricted Entry Intervals\, REI). Es aquí donde los biopesticidas pueden resultar útiles. Sus modos de acción únicos aportan valor en el control de la resistencia; el hecho de que se deriven de fuentes naturales los hace más aceptables para los consumidores; además\, la seguridad que brindan significa que pueden aplicarse con una interrupción mínima en las actividades diarias de control de cultivos. Sin embargo\, todavía existen muchas ideas equivocadas sobre qué son los biopesticidas\, su eficacia y dónde y cómo se pueden utilizar. Esta presentación se centra en el uso de los biofungicidas y su posicionamiento eficaz en los programas de salud de las plantas.

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: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.
