Two Forest Diseases Under
Study in Expanded Program
Corvallis Two of Oregon's
dangerous forest diseases root
rots of conifers and needle blight
of ponderosa pine are under
study at Oregon State college as
part of an expanded regional
forest disease research program.
Root rot is one of the most
serious disease threats of the
Douglas fir and Port Orford
cedar laiads of western Oregon
and needle blight is one of the
"first priority" diseases of east
ern Oregon's pine regions.
Dr. Lewis F. Roth, forest plant
pathologist, is leader of the di
sease research work for the col
lege's forest experiment station.
To Keep Ahead
Expansion of the forest disease
work is recognition, Roth said,
of the tremendous toll taken each
year by diseases in U.S. and
Northwest forests and represents
an attempt on the part of the
college to "keep. ahead", of some
of the diseases.
Losses from forest diseases
were emphasized by. a 1952
study made by the U.S. forest
service, Roth pointed out. That
study showed that diseases kill
ed three times as many trees as
were destroyed by fire in 1952.
Insect losses were seven times
greater than fire losses.
In terms of growth loss to
trees, however, disease outrank
ed both, insects and fire by more
than 2 to 1. '
The Northwest fortunately has
fewer serious disease problems
than some otljr areas of the
country, perhaps because it is
still a relatively "new" region,
Roth said. Northwest tabulaitons
show that insects and weather
are the two biggest killers of
trees at present with disease
ranking third.
The losses from disease are
staggering, nevertheless. Some
Wi billion cubic feet of timber
are lost annually in the North
west to five disease problems
root rots, heart rots, blister rust,
mistletoe and needle blight. An
other 200 million cubic feet of
growing stock and 1 billion board
feet of saw timber are destroy
ed annually by unclassified dis
eases. Disease research is especially
important in the Northwest, how
ever, because of the great dis
ease "hazard" that exists in the
uninterrupted tracts of Douglas
fir and pine. Wherever there are
big regions of the same type of
plants, the chances for rapid
spread of any diseases introduc
ed into the area are great, Roth
explained.
