Greetings OSU Extension and AES colleagues:
Here is what is new from EESC:
Jay W. Pscheidt, Steve Castagnoli, Steve Renquist
Revised. This
publication recommends management practices for controlling diseases
and insects in home
orchards. This pest management guide is for the home gardener. It
doesn't meet the exacting requirements of the commercial fruit grower.
Signe Danler, Gail Langelloto-Rhodaback
New. An
ecological
approach to landscape design incorporates natural systems as an
integral part of urban landscapes. It differs from conventional
landscaping in that buildings, hardscape, and landscape are planned as a
unified whole, utilizing native plants and green
infrastructure to provide ecological, economic, and social benefits.
This publication explores innovative ways of looking at landscape
design, and bringing ecology and design together to form a sustainable
urban landscape.
Editor: C. Hollingsworth
Revised. Covers
pesticide
safety and toxicity, protecting bees, adjuvants, mixing tables,
calibration, and biological control. Other sections cover a wide variety
of agricultural and nonagricultural products such as commercial
vegetables, small fruit, turf and ornamentals, hay and pasture,
grains, seeds, home gardens, greenhouses, livestock, poultry, household,
and public health. Each section describes pests, the damage they do,
and recommended management.
Senior Editors: J. Pscheidt, and C. Ocamb
Revised. Includes
materials and tactics suitable for organic production and homeowner use
as well as for commercial production. Covers testing services, common
pathogens (e.g., nematodes, viruses, fungi, and bacteria, as well as
Phytophthora diseases), nonpathogenic phenomena (e.g., thatch, algae,
and lichens), and pesticides for disease control.
Contains an alphabetical listing, by host plant, of diseases, including
their causes, symptoms, and recommended cultural and chemical controls.
Revised. Discusses
types of plane surveys, including property surveys
and cadastral surveys. Briefly sketches the history of the rectangular
survey system in the United States and describes how the rectangular
system works. Tells how to use certain types of maps, such as
transportation maps and topographic maps, to locate on-the-ground
features. Also discussses using aerial photos. Briefly defines
geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems
(GPS).
Revised. Covers
biological weed control agents, pesticide
safety and disposal, agrichemicals and their properties, and control of
problem weeds. Contains sections on weed control in cereal grain crops;
grass seed crops; forage and seed crops; legumes; oilseed crops;
irrigated field crops; aquatics; forestry; orchards
and vineyards; small fruits; vegetable crops; vegetable seed crops;
