Program: Turfgrass Selection for the Landscape Professional Victoria Wallace an Extension Educator in Sustainable Turf & Landscape at UConn Extension will discuss turfgrass selection as is an important strategy to reduce plant stress, pest pressure and ultimately decrease pesticide use. Selecting the proper turfgrasses for landscape mixtures use can be challenging. It is essential to understand the differences that exist between the turfgrass species and the strengths of each species. This presentation will discuss key characteristics of popular cool season turfgrasses and appropriate cultural management practices needed to enhance and maximize turfgrass performance; reduce stress and pest pressure; and ultimately reduce pesticide use.
Life’s a Beech: Bleeding Canker and its Control on European Beech Dr. Shawn C. Kenaley a Visiting Fellow in School of Integrative Plant Science, Cornell University, Ithaca will discuss Phytophthora - one of the most ecologically and economically damaging plant pathogens of herbaceous and woody plants. With increasing frequency since the mid-1980s, disease caused by at least five Phytophthora species has been associated with the mortality of countless mature European beech ( Fagus sylvatica) (>100 yrold) in arboreta, public gardens, and private landscapes in NYS and elsewhere in the Northeast. In this session Dr. Kenaley will review the symptoms of bleeding canker, examine the epidemiological factors permitting spread and intensification of disease, and discuss chemical control options in disease management. It will include discussion of NY field studies, including findings related to the effectiveness of phosphite fungicide(s) on eradicating Phytophthora spp.
