Toward producing disease -free container-grown native wildland plants

Methods and a fundamental philosophy for producing healthy planting stock of native wildland plants are presented. Drawing from the experience of agriculture, horticulture, and forestry, cultural and biological disease control methods are reviewed. The focus is placed on certification of planting materials, producing pathogen-free propagules, greenhouse design and management for disease prevention, controlling pathogens in plant growing medium, the role of native-host genetic variability, and managing biological control of soil-borne diseases.
