Sudden Oak Death Spray Training. October 20, 2007, San Mateo County Mounted Patrol. Dr. Matteo Garbelotto, UC Berkeley Forest Pathology and Mycology Laboratory (approx. 1.5 hours)
Sudden Oak Death – A general overview of Sudden Oak Death and Phytophthora ramorum produced by the Rutgers University Cooperative Extension (New Jersey). This 25-minute film, split into 3 clips, provides information on symptoms and hosts; risks; control techniques; and a special section on the threat to East Coast forests.
Two videos address the threat posed to plant nurseries, gardens, woodlands and countryside from two devastating Phytophthora pathogens, P. ramorum and P. kernoviae. These films were produced by the UK’s Food and Environment Research Agency and involved a wide consortium of Government and industry contributors. (1) Biosecurity – what you can do to help (2 minutes 40 seconds) is aimed at people who have little previous knowledge of plant diseases but who are interested in what they can do to help stop the spread of the diseases. (2) Phytophthora – Stop the spread (18 minutes 30 seconds) is aimed more at professionals who work in environments where the diseases may be present or that could easily be contaminated, describes the diseases in more detail and offers advice on appropriate biosecurity measures to help prevent the spread.
This 10 -minute video documents the history of Sudden Oak Death, describes its pathology, and explains what measures may prevent its spread in the future. Video courtesy of Point Reyes National Seashore.
