  Research Report:
Reduce Pine Wilt deaths
 
 
Pine Wilt
 
  Pine Wilt is a condition found primarily in Scots pine trees, also called Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris). Once symptoms appear, Pine Wilt typically kills trees quickly—within a few weeks to a few months. Pine needles turn grayish green, then tan, then brown. There is no cure for Pine Wilt. However, one application of ArborSystems Greyhound Insecticide has been shown to provide three-year protection against this devastating disease.
 
Greyhound-treated Scots Pine
 
 

A test was conducted in a large block planting of Scots pine at Horing State Farm near Plattsmouth, Nebraska, from 2003 to 2005. Many trees within the planting and surrounding areas had died from Pine Wilt in the previous two to three years.

Twenty-nine like-size trees with no symptoms of Pine Wilt were selected. Eighteen of the trees were untreated, serving as control trees. Eleven of the trees were treated once at the beginning of the test period with trunk injections of ArborSystems Greyhound Insecticide.

The trees were inspected after one, two, and three years, with mortality rates noted each year. At the end of three years, only three of the eighteen (3 of 18) control trees were alive—a 16.7% survival rate. Seven of the eleven (7 of 11) treated trees were alive for a survival rate of 63.6%.

This test was conducted by the Nebraska Forest Service, University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
