Program Purpose
Turf and Landscape Pest Management Update (3 Hours)
10:15 – 11:15 AM Oak Wilt: A Growing Threat To Trees In New York
Topics and Speakers:
Recently, oak wilt has been found to be killing trees in several parts of New York State. The site of first detection in New York was in Schenectady County. This fungal pathogen, also known as Ceratocystis fagacearum, can kill a healthy tree in as little as three weeks. Karen Snover-Clift, Director of Cornell’s Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic within the Department of Plant Pathology, will tell us about this menace, explain the steps agencies are taking to stop the spread, and warn us about what to look for here in the Capital District.
9:00 – 10:00 AM Keep Ticks Away!
11:15 – 12:15 PM. Pest Management Jeopardy!

Avoiding Lyme and other tick-borne diseases at your accounts and elsewhere requires avoiding a tick bite! Join Joellen Lampman as she talks about the different ticks in our area and their biology, the diseases they carry and how to protect yourself and others from being bitten. Personal protection, habitat management to reduce ticks in the landscape, pesticide control methods, tick removal, disease/allergy transmission and other aspects including online resources will be covered. Joellen Lampman is an Extension Support Specialist with the New York State IPM Program headquartered in Albany, NY.
10:00 – 10:15 Break
Based on the popular television show, this interactive session will be sure to get you thinking! We will discuss a wide range of pests, from the emerald ash borers drilling into the trees to the white grubs chewing up the turfgrass roots underground.
