Insects and Diseases of Oak Seedlings Grown in Tree Shelters

Tree shelters are a new technology used in regenerating oak. Oak seedlings typically have insect and disease associates that may become pests on seedlings grown in shelters. In this study, insects and diseases found on sheltered seedlings were listed over a 1- year period, and their effects on sheltered and unsheltered seedlings were compared. Despite sustaining greater damage from insects and disease, sheltered seedlings showed more height growth than unsheltered seedlings. But potential problems were indicated that warrant further study.
