VISIT TREEKEEPERSOFTWARE.COM EMAIL US BENEFIT #13 Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was first discovered in Michigan back in 2002. Since then, the invasive species has spread to more than 30 states and five provinces, and has killed millions of ash trees. The economic impacts of EAB are substantial. BioForest/Lallemand Inc. (BioForest) has been a key player in tree injections for the control of EAB in North America for over a decade. Their research is aimed at studying the efficacy of plant, bacteria and fungal- based products to control insects (e.g. EAB), while limiting environmental impacts. "Our trapping and monitoring program assures that management funds are allocated properly based on evidence, and not as a reactionary management strategy," says Rhoda deJonge, BioForest's Urban Forestry Technical Manager. "Cities throughout North America have used our botanically- based insecticide to control EAB, while minimizing environmental effects associated with pesticide use." BioForest will be introducing a new insecticide for urban forest insect pests to the market – LALGUARD AZA. The new product is an improved azadirachtin formulation that allows for a lower dose rate, quicker uptake, up to 2 years efficacy, and a 12 month shelf life at a competitive price. A tree canopy conservation strategy will generally be more economically beneficial than a tree removal program. "It's a natural choice for forest pest management needs," adds deJonge. BioForest offers comprehensive technical support, interactive training sessions and an array of tools (such as detailed BioSIM maps) to help manage insect pests. New tools like LALGUARD AZA will help slow the spread of invasive pests like EAB, help protect our environment, and our economy.
