UMass Extension will hold a one-hour Controlling Emerald Ash Borers with Biological Controls webinar on June 23rd from noon to 1 pm.
Scientists have made considerable progress towards controlling populations of emerald ash borer by releasing parasitoids throughout the U.S.
In this webinar, USDA – APHIS entomologist Dr. Juli Gould will discuss how three parasitoid species have been widely established and are beginning to show promise in protecting young regenerating ash forests. She will also discuss studies that demonstrate the utility of combining insecticide treatment to save large, valuable ash trees with release of parasitoids in urban areas.
Preregistration is required to access the webinar.
