In other agricultural collapse topics, I'm currently working at a small nursery in Virginia and we are having huge issues with our crop due to Vascular Streak Dieback (VSD), which is a pathogenic fungus originally affecting cacao and occasionally avocado in Malaysia/Southeast Asia. Samuels et al. published a paper on it 13 years ago and in the time since, it seems to have crossed into North America. Spores get into wounds in the plants like leaf scars or cracks in the bark (and most importantly to nurseries, graft wounds), then begin to grow and feed, killing the top of the plant and working its way into the main stem. As it progresses, the stem will become streaky, the normally bright green cambium turns black or brown and rots, and the internal plant becomes waterlogged and almost translucent as it struggles to keep moisture and nutrients flowing. These changes can only really be noted once the tree is too far gone. Most sources I can find seem to think it's only in a few states, but I would not be surprised if it is much more widespread. The list of potential hosts is quite scary, not just for nursery industry workers, but just generally a bunch of major tentpole deciduous forest species and native species. Most articles focus on redbud, dogwood, and other ornamental species that are important to the nursery/landscaping industry, but VDACS has found it to be pathogenic to multiple other species including maples, magnolia, catalpa, hawthorn, witch alder & witch hazel, spicebush, plum/prunus, tulip poplars, sumac, lilac, and black gum. We are waiting on results from some 20 samples we sent to the lab. Just from my experience there should be way more magnolias on the list, we've had to destroy almost our entire crop. We even suspect some of our oak trees have been infected. As you may be able to guess, more stressed plants are more susceptible. I think a huge part of the issue is that like 90% of our plants are clones, either by grafting or propagation. A lot of these are probably coming to us infected from suppliers in Tennessee and other hotbeds. But stuff we had shipped in from PANW also tested positive. We are a pretty small operation and don't have the ability to burn or bury the massive amounts of plant waste as suggested, so our VDACS agent told us to just...throw it in the trash. Someone else's problem. We are also cleaning up affected trees/removing leaves and putting them in plastic bags. In the dumpster. We wipe our pruners between each tree though  We know for a fact other nurseries in this area have the same issue, but no one wants to talk about it for fear of impacting business. We have just been quietly pulling stock and destroying suspected carriers. Climatically speaking more droughts and odd weather patterns combined with this fun new pathogen could make for a potentially huge swath of forest species getting decimated, if it's able to make the jump. The good-ish news is that it seems to be relatively short lived, at least when it's in Malaysia. The spores don't seem to travel far or live long outside the plant. No telling how it will fare as it gets out into more wild environments in North America. Hopefully genetically diverse forest trees with better overall health will be better able to fend off the fungus. Maybe it's just an artifact of how stressful the average nursery is on a growing plant, and nothing more. But if it's not VSD, there's more of the same incoming I'm sure. Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability, it's been a frustrating few weeks since I don't have any decisionmaking power at this place and we don't know a lot at this point. what choice do i have but to lol, lmao Light reading list if anyone's interested: https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/SPES/spes-483/spes-483.html https://nurserymag.com/article/the-redbud-problem/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1878614611001437?via%3Dihub QuickbreathFinisher has issued a correction as of 02:05 on Jun 6, 2023 |

Some guy I work with keeps telling me the only way to fix climate change is for everyone to go on a beef only diet. I made the mistake of debating him once like a year ago, and now he brings it up again or tries and show me some goofy poo poo from IG from some beef head influencer about how grass releases methane anyway and that cows absorb CO2. Apparently this is a big movement, probably started by Jordonson. This guy only eats beef and looks like absolute poo poo but says he’s never felt better while he’s sweating all the time and has dark circles under his eyes, always saying our ancestors only consumed ruminants. Hope he has a stroke or some poo poo tbh Edit: he also says he won’t fall for vegetarian and vegan brainwashing when I bring up we need vegetables to be healthy. I’m like dude, you beef heads are way more annoying than they are Soggy Muffin has issued a correction as of 03:20 on Jun 6, 2023 |

Stereotype posted:all these fires just started at the same time by CHANCE?? no, it was the government so that they can blame gLoBaL WaRmInG and make more laws to restrict me Saw that in the NSW fires a couple of years ago - fire service reported 65 fires were human caused, massive Australian blog-o-sphere shitstorm about greenies being arsonists. Drill down a bit and 4 were arson, the rest were dumbasses1 with cigarettes and smoking materials, among other things. 1Human dumbasses. Koalas don't smoke unless they can't move fast enough to get out of the way of the wildfire. In Canada a cigarette brand only needs to successfully self-extinguish 75% of the time to qualify as self extinguishing. How do I know this? Making war on the rigpigs working out of the marshalling yard at the end of our road who were throwing their butts out the window before passing through the gate where smoking is prohibited. I hate my life. Tungsten posted:drat, the milk cow dried up. now who do i know who might be a witch? It's okay, we have the technology to re-frac the cow now.
