Control methods include sprang fungicide on leaves or reducing humidity and avoid wetting the fronds. Taking stem cuttings and layering is possible due to the development of adventitious roots. There are many ornamental and Australian native plants that are attacked including. Rings appear in the turf as fruiting bodies or dead grass and as lush green foliage. The larva (caterpillars) feed on the leaves and construct a silken nest close to the ground where they live out there lives. ). Most active during the warmer months, when plants are flowering. Larvae pupate in their cases. Blight (Endothia parasitica) is a serious pest of Castanea species, entering the twigs and small branches, and then progressively travelling throughout the tree killing it. It is also used in revegetation programs and can be trimmed to form a informal hedge along borders. The beetles are active from spring to mid summer preferring the warmer weather and the larva feed from late summer to autumn. It attacks. Affected branches break easily in high winds. ) It prefers full sun or part shade. The adults have a stout body shape the antennae are flattened into discs.

Also suitable for stabilizing erosion. Centaurea species are infected by the rust (Puccinia cyani) and (Puccinia irrequisita) which can cover the stems and leaves. Deer also rub their antlers against trees damaging bark and snapping off small branches, this action also incurs damage under hoof as plants, lawns and garden structures are trampled on. Under commercial conditions stock may be sprayed with a fungicide such as oxycarboxin. The head protrudes from the case to feed. The infected area develops minute black fruiting bodies. This family of insects is found world wide, including Australia. infects the new leaves turning them to yellow and fall from the shoot giving the branch a scorched appearance. This plant will not regenerate from a hard prune into old wood but respond from a light trim directly after flowering. by planting clean stock and be careful not to damage the crop when weeding. Swietenia species are damaged as the larvae bore into the new shoots normally during spring or during the rainy season. Bagworm (Thyridopterix ephemeraeformis) adult is a moth that produces caterpillars that construct a small elongated shelter from pieces of the host's leaves and enlarges to 80mm long, as the lava grows.

This may be seen on certain branches of the tree and on inspection under the bark the sapwood reveals brown streaks. It may also be lightly pruned to encourage new growth. Summer temperatures may peak at 40C (104F). They are located in tropical rainforests, sclerophyll, heaths and woodlands in rich to poor dry soils. $0.95c each. Larvae emerge from their tunnels at night, to feed on the callus tissue around the entrance holes. Larvae and their cases are difficult to detect among foliage. It withdraws into the case if threatened or disturbed. ) Many plants are attacked by this insect including Acacia, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca and Callistemon species. is a similar forming brownish spots the turn grey, and then black destroying pads. This leaf rust appears on the underside of the leaves (preferably older leaves) forming dusty brown pustules and is a serious problem. The fleshy larvae normally are tapering caterpillars, some with pointed spine on the tale and are many different colours from black-blue to brown and orange. Pad decay (Aspergilus alliaceus) infects Cereus and Opuntia species and occurs at during periods of high temperature. A wide range of plants are susceptible to case moth larvae, with different moth species favouring different plants. The spores can be arranged in a structure such as a, or develop without an enclosed structure called a ". The cutting should be 70 to 130 mm long with leaves retained on the upper end. Evergreen. that has 1 to 10 carpels, normally five with 1 to many ovules that are inserted on an axil that is basal or rarely a parietal placenta. an egg, larval, pupal and adult stage. is possible, but this is not usually necessary. Preventive measures include minimising leaf wetness and excessive use of nitrogen fertiliser. The fungus entered the lower trunk normally as a result of mechanical damage (lawn mower). The source of the fungus is from other infected plants or fallen leaves and is dispersed by wind. It is a sporadic pest that appears from late summer to autumn. Area repellents rely on an offensive odour and are placed around areas that are frequently visited. The larvae burrow into the cambium layer. forms small circular spots that increase to a diameter of 30mm, and then becomes sunken as the cells collapse. Leptospermum petersonii: tea tree. In some species the females can lay over 10,000 eggs. The 15mm long cream coloured larva tunnel under the bark and feed on the sapwood causing ringbarking. Adult sawflies are wasps that have derived the name Sawfly from the sawing action to open leaves using there ovipositor. Leptospermum scoparium (Tea Tree) is an upright evergreen shrub with small, aromatic (when crushed), needle-like leaves and showy flowers in late spring and summer. Current estimates recognize about ninety species of Leptospermum along with many cultivars now existing.
