Phytophthora ramorum (Oomycetes) is an emerging plant pathogen in forests in southwestern Oregon (Curry County). Moreover, since 2003 it has been repeatedly isolated from plants in Oregon nurseries. In this study, we analysed the genetic diversity of the P. ramorum population in Oregon from 2001 to 2004 by using microsatellites. A total of 323 isolates (272 from the infested forest; 51 from nur...

forest nurseries in north are the main sources of seedlings production for forest organization and urban green spaces. for more produce and less cost should be done good management of the production operations.study included data from 16 nursery seedling production in the north. in this study land (an area of seedling land) and personnel (workers and employees) as an input and the number of see...

Plant-parasitic nematodes can affect seedling production in forest nurseries when host seedlings are developmentally vulnerable, nematode populations are high, or opportunistic pathogens are present. Soil fumigation has been important for plant-parasitic nematode control in forest nurseries. Regulatory changes and rising costs of fumigant application are expected to affect nursery pest manageme...

In 1996 a questionnaire on seedling production and use of pesticides was sent to 33 forest nurseries in Finland. Twenty-eight nurseries answered the questionnaire; thus the survey covered about 80% of the Finnish production of forest seedlings. According to this study, the Finnish nurseries together are using about 1000 kilograms of pesticides (as active ingredient, a.i.) annually. The most use...

Pythium species are important soilborne pathogens occurring in the forest nursery industry of the Pacific Northwest. However, little is known about their genetic diversity or population structure and it is suspected that isolates are moved among forest nurseries on seedling stock and shared field equipment. In order to address these concerns, a total of 115 isolates of three Pythium species (P....

Forest nurseries in Sweden produce ca. 360 million seedlings of Pinus sylvestris L. and Picea abies (L.) Karst. annually. Fungi represent the largest microbial component in rhizospheres and may significantly affect health and, consequently, quality of the seedlings. The aim of this study was to assess fungi focusing on pathogens in roots and the sphagnum peat growth substrate of healthy-looking...
