[MAIPC] Fwd: Webinar on Phragmites scale- Thursday April 27th, ...

[Phytodoer at aol.com]

Trees & cacti are not the only types of plants under threat from  
non-native insects.  The principal plant of the Louisiana coastal marshes  -- 
Phragmites australis - called Roseau cane - has been hit hard by an  introduced 
scale.
See below for a webinar that will examine this threat to a highly valuable  
ecosystem.

Dear All,

In fall 2016, the scale  Nipponaclerda biwakoensis (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: 
Aclerdidae) was discovered  attacking Phragmites (roseau cane) in Plaquemines 
Parish. The native range of  this scale includes China and Japan. The 
objectives of the webinar will be to  describe the problem, present current 
knowledge on the biology and ecology of  the scale, and propose short and long term 
management options.

Presenters: Drs. Jim  Cronin, Blake Wilson and Rodrigo Diaz

The webinar will be  on Thursday, April  27th at 10:00 am CST; but please 
join the  webinar by 9:50  am.
