Mediterranean Oak Borer and Other Pests of California Oaks
Date & Time

Selected Sessions:

Description
The Mediterranean Oak Borer (MOB) is an invasive ambrosia beetle that infests several species of white oaks in California: valley oak, blue oak, and Oregon oak. The beetle is spreading rapidly in Napa, Lake, Sonoma, and Sacramento Counties and has been detected in neighboring El Dorado, Yolo, and Mendocino Counties. There is considerable potential for the beetle's range to expand, as they can be moved in infested wood and the females can fly. This webinar will cover MOB and other pests that can present signs and symptoms that look like MOB, as well as introducing other significant invasive oak pests. Presenters will be Curtis Ewing with CalFire and Mike Jones, UC Cooperative Extension Advisor.
