SUMMARY:The Value Proposition of Beneficial Microbes
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Brownbridge\, Ph.D.\, senior technical services manager\, BioWorks Inc. \nSpanish Translation \nBiofungicides are increasingly utilized in integrated disease-management programs. They bring proven efficacy and performance\, are safe for and compatible with other components of integrated pest management (IPM)\, and have unique modes of action which is essential for resistance management. But what else can these biological materials do for your plants? Not only do some Bacillus\, Streptomyces and Trichoderma species colonize and protect roots from diseases\, they also provide plant health benefits that promote plant resilience and performance. In this talk\, we will examine some of the other attributes of microbials\, how they can be used to sustain the performance and resilience of plants through the year\, and how they deliver value in nursery production systems.

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: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.

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.
