Sporax applicator for feller-bunchers.

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:819828
Annosum root rot affects conifers throughout the Northern Hemisphere, leading to root rot, windthrow, and ultimately, the death of infected trees. The fungus Heterobasidion annosum causes annosum root rot, which colonizes readily on freshly cut stumps. Partially cut stands have a high risk of infestation because the fungus can colonize on each of the stumps, potentially leading to the loss of many residual trees. The primary method of controlling annosum in partially cut stands is by applying Sporax to the stump immediately after cutting. This document is an informational brochure on a Sporax applicator for feller-bunchers, with cost estimates and contacts for further information.
