Slows Spread Pennsylvania’s program of oak wilt control may account, in part, for the slow rate of spread of oak wilt compared with adjacent states not using such control measures, stated William Merrill. Jr., research plant pathologist at Penn State University, during a Northeast Forest Pathology Workshop held recently in Morgantown, W.Va. Merrill referred to the oak will control program carried out by the Bureau of Plant Industry. Pennsylvania Depart ment of Agriculture, whereby aerial observation detects dis eased and dead oaks. Such trees are cut down by the Bu reau and ammonium sulfamate (Ammate) is applied to the stumps. Such a program reduces considerably the amount of oak wilt fungus that can be spread by wood-bonng beetles and other insects, Merrill pointed out. He and his associates have found that the fungus causing Contocf oak wilt can survive up to five years in the roots of dead trees. However the fungus will seldom live more than one year when stumps of trees are treated with Ammate. He and research assistant John M. Skelly, in the depart ment of plant pathology at Penn State, have excavated and studied root systems of over 300 trees killed by oak wilt. These roots became in fested with insects soon after the trees died. Wood-boring beetles and similar insects car ried the fungus in or on their bodies when they emerged from the roots. Studies by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Penn State have confirmed previous findings that such insects feed on healthy oaks by tunneling into the woody portion of trees. Such wounds make ideal in fection areas for spread of the oak wilt fungus, Merrill claim ed. A. H. HOFFMAN SEEDS, INC.
