Caring for Trees in the Lost River Valleys

:

By Chad Cheyney, Butte County Extension Educator





Give your trees a break! Proper timing, amount and application of water to trees in the Lost Rivers Valleys are the key to keeping our trees out of trouble with winter injury, diseases and insects. Properly irrigated trees successfully repel most insect and disease problems. Trees stressed by inadequate amounts or improper timing or poor placement of irrigation water are stressed and become increasingly susceptible to a wide variety of insect and disease complexes. While it may be possible to correct insect and disease problems in the short term by application of pesticides, in the long term, only proper irritation will keep our trees healthy. Your trees need at least twice as much water as the same area of grass!

Bed Bug Epidemic?

Bedbugs are becoming and increasing problem for unsuspecting travelers.  Once thought of as being strickly a problem in low-class hotels or for people who practice poor hygiene, bedbugs are showing up in up-scale motels and hotels and showing little regard for the financial well-being of their new hosts!

Health & Welfare Bed Bug Website Now Available. We have been contacted by Leslie Tengelsen, DVM, from the Office of Epidemiology, Food Protection, and Immunization with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Health and Welfare has developed an informational website, which can be found at http://www.healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/Health/DiseasesConditions/BedBugs/tabid/1591/Default.aspx.

Stripe Rust Identified is the Aberdeen Area

Stripe rust has been found in winter barley in the Aberdeen area. This is not the same strain of stripe rust causing the disease in wheat. None of the currently grown varieties of barley have resistance to the stripe rust fungus (that I am aware of.) I definitely advise incorporating fungicides at herbicide timing. Stripe rust continues to advance in winter and spring wheat. It is getting close to the time limit for spraying winter wheat with fungicides, which may be before flowering for some fungicides or up to 50% flowering depending upon the fungicide. READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL directions.

Brundage SWW Wheat Succumbing to Stripe Rust in Eastern Idaho

From Juliet Marshall
University of Idaho Extension Cereal Specialist
June 2nd, 2011

Brundage soft white winter wheat has stripe rust throughout the southern part of the state, and I have now seen it in southeast Idaho as far north as Osgood, 10 miles north of Idaho Falls. While other varieties are showing low levels of stripe rust, Brundage in particular is showing widespread and a very susceptible reaction. Other varieties that are showing a susceptible reaction include: 1) soft white winter wheats Lambert, UICF Lambert, AP Legacy, Stephens, AP Badger, Goetze, AgriPro Salute, 2) hard winter wheats Eddy, NuHorizon, NuHills, Boundary, Garland, Moreland (at low percent), LHS, Bonneville, Decade, Whetstone, UI Silver, AP Paladin, Garland, Golden Spike, Deloris, Promontory (low levels).
