Apparently there is something in soil that effectively eliminates the blight fungus and allows the tree to heal. This method is inconvenient to use on very large trees. What bearing this will have on the question of control of the disease in this the disease on the bark of a chestnut tree through inoculation from the nut itself. Considering the importance of chestnuts as a high carbohydrate food source for However, in 1904, a bark fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) was accidentally MAIN DISEASES. Chestnut culture is affected by two widespread fungal diseases. The main causes of chestnut decline are: Chryphonectria parasitica, responsible of canker blight and Phytophthora cambivora and P. cinnamomi, the ink disease agents.In addition, nuts are often damaged by insect attacks which cause the loss of an important part of the crop. Excerpt taken from Volume 7, Issue 1 of the Journal of the American Chestnut Foundation. Blight Control #1: Soil Compress Method. Some years ago Dr. Wayne Weidlich, an ACF Director, noted that chestnut blight will grow on chestnut roots if they are exposed. Trees at Risk. The two-lined chestnut borer is primarily a pest of Quercus and Castanea species. It is considered one of the most serious insect pests on oaks, and the species most frequently attacked are chestnut, white, black, red, scarlet, and bur oaks. pest and disease control A healthy, vigorous plant, just like a person, resists pests and diseases much better than a weak or stressed plant. Therefore, the first step in a good disease prevention program is fostering healthy plants with good fertilization and watering. Chestnuts are sturdy, pest-resistant trees and very few chestnut diseases can cause large-scale damage. Chestnut trees, part of the Castanea family, require little maintenance, pruning or fertilization. However, some weather conditions can make chestnuts vulnerable to fungal infections. These diseases are easy to detect, but can be hard to contain. chestnut caused by Asian chestnut gall wasp. Photo by Paul Franklin Asian chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus, is known to attack all species of chestnut throughout its natural range.

Caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi, this is an introduced disease which suddenly appeared in the early 2000s and has spread rapidly. It attacks and kills the bark of infected trees, which often becomes cracked and disrupted. The species succumbed to chestnut blight, caused by an Asian bark fungus Almost all were introduced for erosion control, landscape trees, all sorts of idiotic Chestnut blight was first recorded in Azerbaijan on the native European chestnut (Castanea sativa) in 2004, and since then, the disease is expanding in the country. Distinct 1/8 inch, D-shaped exit holes in the bark; S-shaped, sawdust-packed galleries under the bark; EAB is very difficult to detect until a tree has been infested for at least a year because the larvae feed from the top of the tree first. When looking for EAB it is important to peel off the bark to look for the larvae and the galleries. Control Infection of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, by hypovirus Transmissible hypovirulence is a novel form of biological control in which been all but extirpated by chestnut blight disease caused by an Asiatic bark fungus, Avoid the use of raw horse chestnut seed, bark, flower, or leaves. These items are not safe to take by mouth and may cause fatal side effects. Avoid using horse chestnut together with other herbal The final blow happened at the turn of the 20th century when a disease called chestnut blight swept through Eastern forests. But, after decades of work breeding trees, The American Chestnut Foundation, a partner in the Forest Service's effort to restore the tree, is close to being able to make a blight-resistant American chestnut available. Three North American tree species, American chestnut (Castanea dentata), butternut (Juglans cinerea), and American elm (Ulmus americana), have been devastated by exotic fungal diseases over the last century. American chestnut was eliminated from eastern forests as a dominant species by chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica).
