Abstract/Contents: | Describes how the loss of leaves in the early growing season to fungal diseases is a problem. This depletion will leave the tree vulnerable and it will lack the energy to defend itself. Discusses problems that come with trying to treat foliar diseases. Problems discusses are: timing, visibility, symptoms instead of signs and the ability to tell if they are a foliar disease. Describes how to decide if a symptom is due to a fungus, and summarizes the life cycles of fungal diseases. Common fungal leaf diseases of deciduous trees including anthracnose, leaf blisters, leaf spot, tar spot, powdery mildew, rusts and sooty mold are discussed. Needle casts and sphaeropsis blight, common diseases of conifers, are also discussed. Discusses control measures for common fungus problems, how to decide if chemical treatments are needed and what chemical treatments can be used. |
