The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) is the most significant pest of Eastern hemlock in North America and has killed countless numbers of trees from Georgia to New England. Even though we have just had two very cold winters, HWA has survived and the vast hemlock forests of the north are threatened. Decisive management at this time is needed to forestall HWA spread and implement biological control before it is too late. Mark will discuss my current research on HWA and cold mortality as well as advances in management tactics using systemic insecticides and the current status of the HWA biocontrol program.
