Authors deal specifically with mosquitoes, flies, fleas, lice, bed bugs, cockroaches, wasps, yellowjackets, ticks, mites, spiders, and rodents. Pesticide application and equipment preparation are discussed at length. Specific examples walk you through calibration of.

Insect Disease Control Study Manual Wsu 2016

Crop protection covers a broad range of tactics used to control a variety of biotic and abiotic problems that affect tree health, fruit quality, crop productivity, and even limit access to markets. Some of the biotic factors include: insect and mite pests; disease agents; weeds; nematodes; and vertebrate pests (birds, rodents, deer, etc.). Abiotic factors are environmental stresses such as temperature (too hot or cold), solar radiation (UV), rain, humidity and wind. Pages within this section of the website will address approaches employed to control the most common biotic and abiotic problems.

Pages within the Crop Protection Section

Biological Control

Biological control is an important component of any insect or mite management program whether its strictly an organic or conventional program. This page covers the basic concept of biological control and provides links to more extensive information.

Disease Management

A disease can be described as any change from the normal condition of plants, which detract from their appearance, or make them less useful or valuable. On this page we cover biotic diseases caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses specifically affecting fruit trees or their fruit.

Insect and Mite Pests

This page explains the concept of integrated pest management and lists useful resource links to in-depth management recommendations and tools.

Nematodes

There are several nematode species that can cause problems in tree fruit orchards. Parasitic nematodes that can damage tree fruit roots are the Root Lesion, Root Knot, and Dagger nematodes in apple trees, and the Root Lesion nematode in Cherry and Pear trees. This webpage will cover descriptions and control tactics for the major Pacific Northwest orchard nematodes.

Orchard Pest Management

A practical reference on tree fruit IPM. Insect hosts, life stages, life histories, damage, monitoring, biological control, and management are described for most major and minor pests in orchards as well as major natural enemies. This information is designed to be used in combination with the WSU Crop Protection Guide and WSU Decision Aid System to inform integrated pest management decisions.

Pear IPM

Historical difficulty and recent challenges with pear psylla and mites have sparked interest among growers, consultants, fruit packers, and researchers to take a closer look at the strategies we use to control these pests. Two industry-directed WSU projects focused on integrated pest management of pears began in early 2017.

Weed Control

Insect Disease Control Study Manual Wsu Edu

Tree fruit growers need to continually manage weeds in orchards, especially in the “weed-strip,” the three to eight feet wide band under the trees, in the tree row. This webpage will discuss the How’s and Why’s of orchard weed control.

Pesticide Topics

This page includes resource links to tree fruit production related pesticide information including topics on Worker Safety, Maximum Residue Levels (MRL’s), and Pesticide Applicator Licensing and Testing, just to name a few.

To our Cougar community on the WSU Pullman campus:

We write today with disappointing news. Our fall 2020 semester at WSU Pullman will not be what we hoped, wanted, or planned.

Given the alarming rise in the number of COVID‑19 cases regionally and nationally, all undergraduate courses at WSU Pullman will be delivered at a distance and will be completed remotely, with extremely limited exceptions for in‑person instruction. Information regarding WSU Pullman graduate coursework and instructional delivery methods will be announced by August 1.

We are coordinating closely as a WSU system in finalizing plans for the fall. Our other campuses will announce their plans shortly.

We make this decision with the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff foremost in our minds, and that principle will continue to guide us going forward.

We know this news has major consequences for our students and their loved ones. We understand the myriad of emotions that this decision will cause… sadness, frustration, disappointment, anger, and for others, a sense of relief.

To our first‑year Cougs, who have lost any semblance of a traditional senior year of high school and their first university experience; transfer students, who were eager to continue their education as Cougs; and our returning Cougs, who have worked hard to keep their community and peer relationships intact after a disrupted spring semester; we hear and see you.

Our faculty and staff will continue to work to provide a high‑quality Coug experience for our students while following current recommendations for protecting the health and safety of our community.

Nationally, institutions of higher education are making similar decisions. In the state of Washington and other locations where our students reside, there recently have been significant increases in the number of COVID‑19 infections and related deaths. In response to the growing number of cases in our state, Governor Jay Inslee tightened Phase III reopening guidelines on July 16.

We have seen what happens when this viral disease spreads unchecked. There is loss of human life. Inequitable health care systems have caused a disparate impact for Black, Latinx, lower‑income, and rural communities. Some of our communities would not have sufficient local health care capacity, including the City of Pullman and Whitman County, should there be a widespread COVID‑19 outbreak. There is potential for significant known and unknown long‑term health consequences for people of all ages.

Students, if you can stay at your permanent residence during this current phase of the COVID‑19 outbreak, please continue progressing toward your degree from home.

Our University-owned apartments will open as planned. University-owned residence halls will open August 15, but only for those students who have a demonstrated institutional need and are approved to live on campus. Please review the fall housing information and the Q&A below and take the appropriate action for your situation.

Food service will be available with limited offerings, and we will adhere to occupancy guidelines in dining halls. Recreation and other community-building centers and activities will remain operational with limited in‑person services. Most opportunities in student life will be available for virtual engagement. Cougar Health Services will continue to provide medical and mental health care for WSU Pullman students.

We remain committed to working together through this uncharted territory in a way that keeps all of us as safe and healthy as possible. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
