The aims of this study were to identify tree damaging agents, and to obtain a Damage Severity Index (DSI) in order to categorize tree health condition at San Juan de Aragon Park. Each tree was identified at species level in 28 randomly established plots in ten sections of the study area. Up to two types of damage were recorded per tree, based on the FIA (Forest Inventory an Analysis Program) protocol, and a DSI was obtained for each damaged tree considering location of damage, nature of the damaging agent and severity. A total of 753 trees were assessed and 12 species and 27 damaging agents were identified. Cankers, galls, the pepper tree psyllid and the red gum lerp psyllid were the most frequent damaging agents. Australian pine, red gum, Mediterranean cypress, Mexican white cedar, and California pepper were the most affected species. The DSI ranged from 3 to 17 and the average was 7.9. Sections J and H and the species California pepper, Australian pine, and Mexican white cedar presented the highest DSI. The tree population had a moderate health condition, while the aforementioned sections and tree species showed the poorest.展开更多
文摘The present study was carried out at Punjab Agricultural University,Ludhiana,India.Nineteen clones of Eucalyptus spp.were evaluated for tolerance to gall wasp.The total number of galls per plant were recorded at 1 month after planting（MAP） and the number of galls per branch were recorded at 4 and 7 MAP.Gall wasp incidence（number of galls） was recorded on a whole plant basis during the seedling stage and the number of galls were recorded from the upper,middle and lower crown places at 4 and 7 MAP.Categorization was done on the basis of relative gall-wasp damage by keeping in view the total number of galls per plant and branch（leaves and petiole）.No clone was found free from gall damage.Clones C-526,P-23 and P-103 were the least attacked by the gall wasp.Incidence as indicated by number of galls caused by Leptocybe invasa on eucalypts was higher in March than in December.
