Beech Leaf Disease - Background & How to Survey
Переглядів 5442 роки тому
Beech Leaf Disease was found in Maine in 2021. We are still learning about how beech leaf disease is spread and it's long term effects, but researchers do know a couple things for certain: it's bad more bad news for American beech, already under stress from the long established beech bark disease. BLD causes serious foliage dieback and eventual mortality. Filmed in the Penobscot Experimental Fo...
Beech Leaf Disease nematodes

American beech, European beech, and oriental beech are prone to the disease, with other species of beech still being studied for susceptibility. Symptoms can include dark bands between the veins of leaves, shriveled, deformed, or curled leaves, premature leaf drop, and more. The non-native nematode (Litylenchu...

reme.ber a couple of years back lots of folk had seeds sent to them from china could this b how they arrived here
AaaAaauuuuuugggghhhhhh‼️‼️‼️
The Indian blues sometimes thrash like this too. And some said even other worms does it too. The main points are the very bright white or yellow band, plust snake like movement instead of contracting and extending. Their thrashing is also side to side. They are also fast moving.
Do other worms have this banding? I remember finding worms with the band as a kid 30 years ago in Pittsburgh suburbs.
Will mustard powder from brown mustard seed work or does it have to be yellow?
Have chickens
Can you use them for fish bait?
No. This is how jumping worms spread. It is illegal to propagate or possess them without a wildlife importation permit from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Unfortunately we can't stop natural selection. Environments change with time, some plants and trees won't adapt to these changes and they die out. Others will adapt, overcome, and then continue to multiply for generations. Nature just works that way. Only the strongest survive.
We hope to live in ME soon. Ugh. Not sure but we may have them at our house in Vermont. They are taking over! 😢
Just found them in Mount Vernon.
I just found them in my garden in Freeport
I just found this video after searching to see if too many worms are harmful to gardens. I have never seen this worm nor even seen the coffee ground-like residue it leaves behind, until this year. The ground was softened in an area where we cut down a tree, both around the stump and a huge circle a short distance from it. At first, I thought it was due to all the rain and the possibility of the stump and roots rotting quicker than normal. Just using my foot I moved the soil around and they were there. My hosta gardens are new to me and we have used a lot of seafood compost sold locally by the truckload. However not on this particular spot. Oakland Maine. :-(
It just takes 1 to put 300 eggs
Infested here in Manchester, Me
Just found one today in my yard in eliot, me. I’m going to treat the area tomorrow and dig up the soil in that area and sterilize it
Just found them in a bag of Coast of Maine compost!! I thought they heat sterilized this product but apparently not......I love their products but this is insane.
I believe I've introduced these worms via Coast of Maine compost, too. Did not have any issues in our garden until the season I used their compost. Really tragic.
It's awesome
