Abstract/Contents:Discusses imidacloprid basal drenches for emerald ash borer, stating that "have given a very high level of control and restored ash trees to excellent health, even in heavily infested areas, when small ash trees are drenched each spring." Presents a study conducted at Bay Point Golf Club in Orchard Lake, Michigan, where "24 [ash]...trees [were treated] with an imidacloprid basal soil drench [in May 2004]." Reports that "about 11 of the 26 trees receiving the basal soil drench [are going to be saved], while only 1 of the 26 control trees has a chance of surviving." Discusses "a similar study...with large ash trees at Barton Hills Country Club in Ann Arbor [Michigan]." Reports that "among the 13 trees receiving the imidacloprid basal drench, 7 of the trees...[have] an average dieback rating of 24.3%, while the other 6 trees that were drenched are...dead or nearly so." Concludes that "it looks like the imidacloprid basal drench is extremely reliable for small ash trees, and very promising for larger ash trees. However, if the trees are already heavily infested and showing obvious canopy thinning and dieback (50%), [one] can only expect to save about half of the trees."
