Boxwood dieback is a relatively new disease that has been detected widely in nurseries and landscapes in the Southeastern US.

He will present his findings based on work done over the past 5 years. (*1 hour of pesticide credit).
February 9 Session 2, Substrate Amendments for Large Containers
Plants grown in large containers have different substrate needs due to longer production cycles than plants grown in smaller containers. Dr. Anthony LeBude, NC State Extension Nursery Specialist, will cover nursery research conducted to address the challenges specific to this situation.
February 10 Session 3, Rose Rosette
Rose rosette is a severe disease that is affecting the use of one of the most popular landscape ornamentals grown in nursery production in the US. Dr. Mark Windham from the University of Tennessee Plant Pathology Department will present management information related to rose rosette and information about the eriophyid mite that helps to spread it. He has been working with a group of researchers from UT for many years on this disease including a trial with at least three years of data. (*1 hour of pesticide credit).
February 11 Session 4, N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Disease and Insect Update
