Best Management Practices

By separating infested material from clean stock one can often prevent the spread of the pest or disease to other retail stock. In general, this measure is most practical for smaller nurseries.

            LBAM: Combine isolation and pesticide application to prevent reinfestation of isolated stock.  (61).

            EGVM:    (42)

            DRW:  (60)

            RPW:  Infested material should be put in separate cull piles for destruction (14).

            PR:  Isolate any material you suspect to be infected with P. ramorum until the cause of infection has been determined.
