Synopsis
Excerpt from The Blister Rust of White Pine
Naturally the increase in the demand for suitable small coniferous trees has led to the establishment of a number of forest-tree nurseries which supply this commercial demand. Of course there have been for years nurseries which supplied relatively small quantities of this stock; these met the demand-for stock for ornamental purposes but not for practical field planting. During the past year or two Ameri can nurserymen have been unable wholly to supply the suddenly increased demand for planting stock, the entire available supply being sold in spite of the action of the Northeastern States in furnish ing planting stock at cost prices.
American prices have been and still are considerably higher than European prices for the same grade of stock. This is partly due to the higher cost of manual labor in this country and partly to the inefficient methods and supervision given to this crop by many American nurserymen. There are many Americans who are fully competent to raise young fruit-tree stock and who are very success ful in this branch of nursery work. But this class of stock is not usually seriously affected with the damping - off diseases, while the coniferous seedlings are as a class especially susceptible to them.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the white pine blister rust, a disease caused by the fungus Cronartium ribicola. First discovered in America in 1906, the disease has led to the implementation of preventive measures given its destructive impact on white pines. Historically, this disease has had devastating effects in other parts of the world, leading to substantial losses in the timber industry. The author underscores the economic impact it has had on the cultivation of white pines, and shares insights from European experts concerning its virulence and the difficulties in its management. Notably, the book discusses the fungus's complex life cycle, which depends on the presence of both white pines and currant or gooseberry plants. If left unchecked, the fungus can lead to severe damage or even the death of infected trees. The author's comprehensive analysis of the disease will help readers understand how this destructive fungus operates and the ways in which its spread can be effectively managed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780266759249_0
