This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FULL COLOR and Enlarged Edition - California has more than twenty-five native species, natural hybrids, and varieties of oaks (Quercus species). The form of these oaks ranges from large trees, up to about 25 m tall, to shrubs no taller than about 1.5 m. California's native oaks include representatives of three oak subgroups or subgenera (Table 1). Hybridization only occurs between oaks in the same subgroup. In addition, some insects, pathogens, and other agents may selectively colonize or damage oaks in certain subgroups.

Download or read book A Field Guide to Insects and Diseases of California Oaks written by Tedmund Swieki and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-04-29 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This FULL COLOR publication focuses on the relatively small number of microorganisms (primarily fungi) and arthropods (primarily insects) that are capable of causing noticeable damage to oaks in California. We have included agents that cause serious damage to oaks, as well as some common agents that produce conspicuous impacts even if they are not especially detrimental to oak health. Conspicuous but relatively inconsequential agents, such as cynipid gall wasps, often attract more attention than more cryptic agents that can severely impact oak health and structural integrity, such as canker rot fungi. However, some agents that have little or no impact on oak health may still create a nuisance in urban settings as the result of materials that are shed (e.g., sap) or because they adversely affect the appearance of oaks in the landscape. This publication is primarily intended to help arborists, land managers, pest management specialists, and other professionals identify and assess the likely impacts of common agents that attack oaks in California. While we have incorporated enough technical information to make this document useful for professionals, property owners and other members of the general public can also use this publication to better understand common oak diseases and pests. A much more comprehensive compilation of agents that feed on, colonize, and/or damage oaks can be found in the California Oak Disease and Arthropod (CODA) database (currently available at http: //Phytosphere.com/coda)

This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Guide to the Common Diseases and Insect Pests of Oregon and Washington Conifers is a useful aid for forestry practitioners and conifer forest landowners in the Pacific Northwest. This handy guide is designed for use in field conditions and describes more than 100 biotic and abiotic agents, emphasizing key identification traits and illustrative photos. It includes general overviews of important agent groups, including bark beetles, root diseases, stem decays, canker diseases and rusts, dwarf mistletoes, foliar pathogens, and defoliating insects. Biotic agents are organized according to their primary association with one of three major tree parts: roots, stem and branches, or foliage. Abiotic and noninfectious diseases are listed in a separate section. Individual agent descriptions are provided in a two-page format with descriptive text facing a page containing multiple color images and a "key characters" box. Each description provides the insect or pathogen common and scientific names, hosts, and information on distribution and damage, identification, agents producing similar symptoms and signs, and severity. Also included are a color-coded quick tab feature at the front of the book, diagnosis tips, identification keys, drawings of bark beetle gallery patterns, agent comparison tables, references, glossary, and an index with embedded color-highlighted host-pest indexes for easy reference.

Download or read book Oaks in the Urban Landscape written by Laurence Raleigh Costello and published by UCANR Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication offers a comprehensive look at the management of oaks in urban areas. As development moves into oak woodland areas, more and more oaks are becoming "urban" oaks. Oaks are highly valued in urban areas for their aesthetic, environmental, economic and cultural benefits. However, significant impacts to the health and structural stability of oaks have resulted from urban encroachment. Changes in environment, incompatible cultural practices, and pest problems can all lead to the early demise of our stately oaks. Using this book you'll learn how to effectively manage and protect oaks in urban areas - existing oaks as well as the planting of new oaks. Three key areas are addressed: selection, care, and preservation. You'll learn how cultural practices, pest management, risk management, preservation during development, and genetic diversity can all play a role in preserving urban oaks. Arborists, urban foresters, landscape architects, planners and designers, golf course superintendents, academics, and Master Gardeners alike will find this to be an invaluable reference guide.

This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field guide details the most commonly encountered diseases and insects of forest trees in the Rocky Mountain Region. Descriptions of diseases, insects, and physical injuries focus on the most diagnostic features of each. Photographs, line drawings, and tables are used to illustrate and emphasize characteristics described in the text. Diseases and insects in plains hardwood trees are not covered in depth. Ornamental trees are sometimes affected by the diseases or insects included in this guide but may not be specifically mentioned as hosts. This guide presents diseases and then insects. Entries are arranged according to the part of trees typically damaged by the agent described. The disease section describes dwarf and true mistletoes, decays (including root diseases and stem decays), cankers, wilts, rusts, foliage diseases, shoot blights, and abiotic injuries and miscellaneous diseases. The insect section describes bark beetles, defoliators, wood borers, sap-sucking insects, gall formers, mites, and bud and shoot insects. At the end of the guide is a subject index, a host-pest index to damaging agents by tree species and part of the tree affected, and a glossary of terms. The host-pest index provides a rapid means of assessing the number and variety of agents described for each tree species. This field guide applies to the USDA Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region, which includes Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska. Additional hosts, diseases, and insect pests may be encountered outside this Region that are not included here, and a few of the diseases and insects included in this guide may not be seen in other areas. Plant pathologists and entomologists are available to assist resource managers with identification of insects and pathogens encountered in the forests.
