Management of Emerging Tree Pests In Southern California by Beatriz Nobua-Behrmann, Ph.D, University of California Cooperative Extension In this seminar you will learn how to identify signs and symptoms of invasive bark and ambrosia beetle infestations. We will also discuss the principles of integrated pest management and how to implement an IPM program to combat these beetles. We will review the available management options for each pest and when is it appropriate to use each of them and we will cover new methodologies and tips to successfully manage these pests.
Recognize Tree Problems by Kevin Sims, Sims Tree Health Specialists In this class Kevin will go over some common tree issues and how to spot them. These issues will range from biotic (living things like insects and fungus) to abiotic (things like nutrient deficiencies and mechanical damage). After going over some basic problems, Kevin will look at how to mitigate them. This will include treatment options and also look at things you can do before an issue starts.
Join Kevin for his discussion on Recognize Tree Problems September 20th at 08:00AM. Best Practices: Chemical Free Landscape Maintenance by Brandon Elrod, Founder of the Community Forests Council Public policy is starting to limit the use of these chemicals, as 42 countries have banned or condemned a well-known and broadly-used herbicide. In reality, herbicides and pesticides were created for convenience and efficiency, so any alternative will need to also hold up to the same scrutiny, if it has any chance of being a successful substitution. Join Brandon as he discuss the realistic ways that chemical-free landscape maintenance can be implemented.
