| Abstract/Contents: | Reports that "the official confirmation of the emerald ash borer (EAB) occurred on August 1, 2008 in Ozaukee and Washington counties [Wisconsin]." Explains that "[EAB] larval feeding activity disrupts or destroys the internal plumbing of the tree resulting in the inability of trees to transport vital nutrient and water, typically resulting in tree decline and eventual death." States that "until EAB is found within 10-12 miles of [one's] ash tree(s) or [one is] in an EAB quarantined area, it is not suggested that [one begins] treating [the] ash trees with insecticides." Notes that "it is important to understand that insecticides are not always successful due to variability or inconsistent control, nor is it fully understood if insecticides are enhancing tree survival or merely prolonging tree death." Lists possible insecticides and application technologies to control EAB, including "imidacloprid"; "dinotefuran (Safari) + PentraBark"; and "emamectin benzoate (Tree-age)." Recommends that "when considering an insecticide treatment option, be sure to:" "1) determine if the respective ash tree has an EAB infestation or if it is within 10-12 miles of an EAB infestation and/or an EAB quarantined zone"; "2) determine the overall health and vigor"; and "3) measure the size." |
