Insects and Diseases of Trees in the South

Anonymous. 1989. Insects and Diseases of Trees in the South. USDA For. Serv. Prot. Rept. R8-PR16. 98 pp. Taken from http://fhpr8.srs.fs.fed.us/forstpst.html

This publication has been prepared to assist forest managers and home-owners in identifying pests of southern trees. The insects and diseases discussed are the more common ones attacking forest and ornamental trees. Prompt identification and treatment of these pests may mean the difference between losing or saving a valuable shade tree. Underlying all successful forest and ornamental pest control efforts, however, is the necessity to keep trees in a healthy, vigorous condition. Chemical suppression recommendations are not included in this publication. For pesticide information contact the local State or Federal extension specialist, forester, entomologist, or pathologist.
