(C 1167) The Japanese beetle, as the name suggests, is native to Japan and was introduced to the U.S. through the transport of plant material. It is a highly devastating pest, attacking a variety of landscape and garden plants, fruit trees, field crops and turf. This circular provides an overview of Japanese beetles in the nursery and landscape, covering the biology, damage, monitoring, and management of this pest.
(C 1158) Thrips are tiny, cigar-shaped insects, with about 5000 known species, many of which cause damage to cultivated plants by feeding or spreading plant diseases. It is usually difficult to identify thrips species. Although they are winged, thrips are generally weak fliers, but they can be dispersed by wind and the transport of infested plant material. Some of the common thrips affecting landscape and nursery plants are described here.
(C 1345) Your immune system is a complex network of cells and organs whose job it is to ward off "invaders" like viruses and bacteria. Learn about the role of nutrition in immunity and what you can do to support your immune system.
