Exploring Novel Management Methods for Beech Leaf Disease, an Emerging Threat to Forests and Landscapes1

Journal of Environmental Horticulture
Abstract Beech leaf disease, caused by the foliar nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii, deforms leaves and causes defoliation in beech (Fagus spp.). We explored management of this nematode, which threatens the health of shade-tree, ornamental, and forest beech.

Diversity and potential sources of introduction of the beech leaf nematode (Litylenchus crenatae mccannii) to Ontario, Canada

Litylenchus crenatae mccannii is a foliar nematode that causes severe damage to beech, known as beech leaf disease (BLD). Previous studies have characterized and identified L. crenataein Japan and a subspecies L. crenatae mccannii in the USA. Litylenchus

Beech Leaf Disease on American beech (Fagus grandifolia): History, Ecology, and Control

For over a century, beech bark disease (BBD) has weakened American beech in Maine, causing bark lesions and vigorous resprouting. More recently, the non-native beech leaf disease (BLD), caused by a nematode, arrived in Maine in 2020 and rapidly spread ...
