ISU Extension Entomologists Offer
Recommendations on Protecting Ash Trees
Posted
26
May
2010
The recent discovery
of the emerald ash borer (EAB) in northeastern Iowa (Allamakee County)
has increased interest in this exotic, invasive insect and what Iowans
can do to protect ash trees (Fraxinus species) on their property. Iowa
State University Extension is collaborating with Iowa state regulatory
agencies and local officials to limit the spread of EAB into other
areas of Iowa. For a full list of EAB detection and education
activities, please visit here.
Treatment options to protect ash trees from this destructive pest are
available, but careful and thoughtful analysis is needed to circumvent
spread of false information and excessive and needless use of
insecticides. Forest, horticulture and insect specialists with ISU
Extension have developed a guide that outlines your management options
against EAB.
The first step for many is confirming that you do have an ash tree.
Only ash trees are susceptible to EAB attack; all species and varieties
of ash trees are at risk. Second is determining if the ash tree is in
vigorous health. Trees must be healthy and growing for treatments to be
effective.
Compromised trees that have mechanical injuries, loose bark or thin
canopy or are struggling to grow in poor sites with limited rooting
area, compacted soil or other stresses are not worth treating. If the
tree is apparently healthy and is valuable in your landscape, then
preventive treatment options may be considered.
Insecticide control measures against EAB should not be used unless you
live within 15 miles of the confirmed EAB infestation. Based on today’s
announcement, the upper portion of Allamakee County is within this risk
zone. However, due to the isolated incidence and associated remote
terrain of the infested site, treatment in Iowa is still not
recommended at this time.
Protecting ash trees with insecticides is a long-term commitment. Most
treatments will need to be reapplied annually or twice per year for an
interminable number of years to protect the tree. With that in mind,
many would be ahead to remove and replace susceptible trees.
ISU Extension has a publication on the topic, PM 2084, "Emerald Ash
Borer Management Options," released June 2009. The publication can be
downloaded from the ISU Extension Online Store here. The North
Central Region IPM Center’s “Insecticide Options for Protecting Ash
Trees from EAB” was issued May 2009 and is available on the ISU emerald
ash borer website here.
