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:Mycorrhizae: Benefits and Use in Grower Operations and the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jason Padden\, Sales Account Manager\, Mycorrhizal Applications \nExplore the science behind beneficial mycorrhizal fungi\, with a focus on how growers and landscapers may utilize the power of mycorrhizae in their operations. Participants will learn how the addition of mycorrhizal inoculant products helps plants increase their efficiency of water use\, nutrient uptake\, and boost other plant health treatments. We will discuss how these benefits reduce plant loss by increasing plant vigor helping to grow hardier while saving time and money. Mycorrhizal inoculants have been used in sustainable growing systems for decades. Those that use them have been able to reduce the stress to both the plants they are growing and themselves.

SUMMARY:Above- & Under-ground Partners: What Urban Trees are Missing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Zhang\, Ph.D.\, Vice President of Research and Development\, Zynnovation LLC \nTrees in the forests live with their family and friends. Above the ground\, young trees are protected by mature trees against extreme weather conditions such as scorching sunlight\, damaging wind\, and extreme cold. Equally\, and maybe more important than the above ground partners\, the underground partners; insects\, worms\, and root and soil microbiome\, is critical for the survival and thrive of the baby trees. How can we expect turban trees to survive and thrive with compacted soils\, excess stormwater runoff\, salt\, pollution\, insecticides\, herbicides\, fungicides and more.

SUMMARY:The Climate Ready Landscape Plants Project (Part TWO)
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. The project recently has expanded to the University of Washington\, Oregon State University\, Utah State University\, and the University of Arizona that facilitates the comparison of plant performance in response to deficit irrigation treatments across the western region of the U.S. We will discuss plant lists\, data collected\, irrigation recommendations\, and project background.

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.
