Current Issues in Nursery Pest Managment in British Columbia

in recent years, there has been a number of improvements to the management of reforestation container nursery insect pests and pathogens in BC. These have centered on three main themes; 1) better monitoring and timing systems, 2) a more comprehensive understanding of their impact on seedling outplanting performance and 3) a reduction in pesticide use. As with all things, nursery production systems are in constant change to meet shifting client priorities and demands. As such, some of these destructive agents are now having an impact on seedling quality because of their adaptation to changes in nursery production. In addition, there is the introduction of new insect pests or pathogens that adapt to our conifer seedling production systems. This paper will briefly summarize current developments in reforestation container nursery pest management in the areas of insect and pathogen control.
