Return to FHP Southern Region FOREST HEALTH PROTECTION SOUTHERN REGION A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH Introduction The southern forest extends over 182 million acres and forestry accounts for the land use of three out of every five acres in the South. The southern forest is predominately private, totaling some 164 million acres. Of the remaining public ownership, 12.8 million acres are National Forest land. Forest Health Protection - Southern Region has a major role in protecting these southern forestlands from insects, diseases and other natural and human stressors. Forest Health Protection works with the following partners: the National Forest System, other federal agencies on other federal lands, Native American tribes, state forestry and agricultural agencies, and other state and federal agencies, institutions, organizations, or individuals involved with forest resource matters. Authority Forest Health Protection - Southern Region, under the authority of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 as amended in 1990 by the Farm Bill, provides the following services to its partners: Forest insect and disease management - Conducts surveys to detect and appraise insect infestations and disease conditions, specifies measures to prevent or suppress insect infestations and disease epidemics.

[ Return to FHP Southern Region Forest Health Protection, Southern Region What is Forest Health Protection? Purpose of Our Staff Our Mission Our Vision What Is Forest Health Protection? Who We Are Forest Health Protection (FHP) traces its roots to the early 1960's. Plagued by serious insect and disease outbreaks, such as southern pine beetle, chestnut blight, gypsy moth and fusiform rust, the Forest Service saw the need for a specialized unit designed to work exclusively on pest problems related to forest resource productivity and management. The unit provides technical assistance in the prevention, detection, evaluation, and suppression of forest insect and disease pest problems. In addition, expertise is available in the areas of seed orchard pest management, nursery disease problems, pesticide use, protection of wood in use, and remote sensing for monitoring insect populations and/or damage. FHP is comparable to other specialized Forest Service units, such as engineering, recreation, and wildlife. The most significant difference is that we provide forest health assistance not only to managers of National Forests, but to managers of all forested lands.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FO REST HEALTH IN BC Federal, provincial and individual licensee responsibilities for surveying and managing forest health The function of recording and summarizing data on the cause, location and severity of insects and disease outbreaks in British Columbia was carried out by the Forest and Insect Disease Survey of the Canadian Forest Service from 1914 through 1995. In 1980, the B.C. Ministry of Forests established regional pest management personnel who were responsible for translating these survey data into meaningful management strategies (McLean 1994). In 1995, the B.C. Forest Practices Code Act was enacted in British Columbia. It was supported by a series of very useful Forest Practices Code Guidebooks on pest management issues including Bark Beetle Management, Defoliator Management, Root Disease Management and Dwarf Mistletoe Management. These guidebooks encapsulate the state of knowledge on life histories, surveys and management options for these pest groups as of 1995. The new Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) The Forest Practices Code of B.C. Act (FPC) was consolidated in December 2002 and a new Forest and Range Practices Act enacted. The regulations for this act are currently under development but will include Defined Forest Area Management guidelines that will describe licensee obligations within Timber Supply Areas. Forest Health strategies, especially issues in Beetle Management Units, will also be closely defined.

USDA Forest Service, Agriculture Handbook No. 680, 184 pp. Integrated nursery pest management (INPM) is the most practical and ecologically sound approach for control of nursery pests because it is integrated with all other nursery management procedures. As a result, nursery managers are not limited to fighting damaging pest "fires" that should not have been ignited in the first place. INPM is accomplished through coordinated tactics that prevent pest damage from reaching economically damaging proportions while protecting the environment from potential hazards. The tactics may be classed as preventive, cultural, chemical, and biological. They are selected to achieve pest management goals in the most practical manner. Preventive Training - Perhaps the most important part of a successful INPM program is the recurrent training of nursery personnel. Technology in applicable pest management techniques changes rapidly, and the nursery that does not keep abreast of the changes stands to lose a great deal.

Integrated Forest Protection (IFP) As the importance of forests continues to grow in the Northwest, the complexity of management - including pest management - is also increasing. With the shift from mature forests already in place at the time of settlement to second-growth forests and plantations, opportunities for pest problems arise. Simple direct solutions to such problems are neither feasible nor appropriate and integrated preventative approaches to accommodate multiple resource values and ecological functions are becoming more important in such instances. The curriculum is designed to provide the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to develop solutions to the array of pests (insects, diseases, weeds, vertebrates), their interactions with abiotic factors (fire, wind, drought, pollution, soil conditions), and management practices (silviculture, harvesting, recreational use). M.S. students take the three courses listed below for all students, plus one course from each of four of the six disciplinary areas that follow. One course must be in Forest Ecology. At least one course must be in either Silviculture or Resource Management. FS 550 counts for only one discipline area, and only if taken for graduate credit. Ph.D. students take the three courses below and one course from each of the six disciplinary areas.

55. Ecologically Based Pest Management Ecologically based pest management (EBPM) is recommended as a profitable, safe, The potential exists for managing pests in an agricultural or forestry http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/pest/summary.html

Ecologically Based Pest Management Executive Summary Pests develop resistance to synthetic chemical pesticides, just as microbial pathogens of humans develop resistance to antibiotics. In fact, pest resistance currently limits the efficacy of many insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides; and there are pests such as plant-parasitic nematodes and bacteria for which no effective pesticides are available. Many synthetic chemical pesticides are broad-spectrum, killing not only arthropod and pathogen pests but also beneficial organisms that serve as natural pest-control systems. Without benefit of the natural controls that keep pest populations in check, growers become increasingly dependent on chemical pesticides to which pests may eventually develop resistance. Thus there is an urgent need for an alternative approach to pest management that can complement and partially replace current chemically based pest-management practices. Pest-management strategies can be viewed in context of whole-farming systems. In whole-farming systems, pest-management methods are integrated into other management components of agronomic systems such as crop fertilization, cultivation, cropping patterns, and farm economics. Such alternative farm-management strategies that promote soil and plant health, and water quality were recommended by the National Research Council in their report Alternative Agriculture (National Research Council, 1989b).

There are a lot of definitions of IPM out there but here are the basic concepts: Put the right plant in the right place! Improve the cultural conditions. Cultural conditions include water, light, pollution, wind and soil. Some conditions are more controllable than others. See our pages about watering and soil for more info. Know your pest. Choose the least toxic method of pest control. Look at improving cultural conditions first, then try a non-chemical method of control. Often these methods work. Chemicals are a last resort. Know your chemical if you must use one. What specifically does it kill? How do you use it? How long does it stay in the soil or air? What are the risks to you or the environment around you?
