Hardwood Diseases in Plains Forest Tree Nurseries

Hardwood seedling diseases have not been studied so extensively as diseases of conifer seedlings. Early work on nursery diseases in the United States dealt primarily with conifers (Spaulding, 1914; Hartley, 1921), and it was not until the 1930 1 s that juvenile diseases of hardwoods received much attention. At this time the Prairie States Forestry Project and erosion control plantings created an unprecedented demand for hardwood stock, and many new nurseries were established. Several U. S. Department of Agriculture plant pathologists investigated nursery diseases during the period of greatest activity (1935-1942). Much of the work is summarized in a publication entitled "Diseases of Forest Tree Nursery Stock" by Davis, Wright, and Hartley (1942).
