SUMMARY:How Diseases Hitch a Ride: When Insects Act as Plant Pathogen Vectors
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sierra Laverty\, assistant professor and horticulture educator\, University of Idaho Extension \nSome of the most common greenhouse\, nursery\, and landscape pests are also harbingers of plant diseases. Certain insect pests act as pathogen vectors\, spreading fungal\, bacterial\, and viral diseases from plant to plant like wildfire through a growing operation or landscape. In this presentation\, attendees will learn which insects have this power\, how to identify them\, which diseases they spread and how\, and prevention steps to minimize losses.

SUMMARY:The Art of Chemical Application
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Edgar Tuna\, greenhouse and nursery crop specialist\, area sales manager Western U.S.\, Envu \nEffective chemical application is far more than simply operating a spray gun or pulling a boom. It is both an art and a science. It requires a good understanding of the equipment being used\, the products applied\, the environmental conditions at the time of treatment\, and the specific characteristics of the application site. Each of these factors plays a critical role in determining product performance and achieving control of the target pest. Specially\, with the rising cost of chemicals and labor\, the applications need to be as efficient and productive as possible.

SUMMARY:Vascular Streak Dieback (VSD): What Growers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Luisa Santamaria\, Ph.D.\, professor\, Oregon State University \nVascular streak dieback (VSD) is an emerging disease affecting woody ornamentals in several regions of the United States and has raised concern for nursery production systems. Increased awareness is essential for early detection and prevention in the Pacific Northwest. This session will review key symptoms\, disease biology\, host range\, and environmental conditions that favor infection. Practical management considerations will be discussed to help growers recognize symptoms early\, reduce risk\, and protect plant health in nursery operations.
