This webinar will cover biology, ecology, and management of the emerald ash borer, an invasive tree pest now present throughout much of the eastern U.S. This webinar is jointly sponsored by the SREF Forest Health and Invasive Species Program and Emerald Ash Borer University.
EAB adult, larva, D-shaped exit holes, and large-scale ash mortality.
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis, EAB) is an invasive beetle, originally from China, and is rapidly expanding its range range across the eastern U.S. Several states in the Southeast now have EAB infestations. All species of ash (Fraxinus spp.) are susceptible, and once EAB has infested a tree the prognosis for that tree is grim. This webinar will review the biology, identification, ecology, and management strategies for EAB, with particular emphasis on the southeastern U.S.
