Chlorosis Threatens Trees Across Regions
Chlorosis causes uniform yellowing of leaves due to iron deficiency, weakening trees and causing stunting or death if untreated. Iron applications, soil acidifiers, and trunk implants have been used since 1950 to supply iron, with chelated iron offering improved solubility, though permanent results are unlikely and repeat treatments are often needed.
How a Fuse Blows and Practical Home Advice
A fuse in a circuit melts its inner metal strip at lower melting point, opening the circuit to prevent overheating and fire. A penny in place of a fuse would fail to interrupt overloads, risking fire. a circuit breaker serves a similar overheat function. Plan with standard material sizes to save labor and money, and measure twice. In 1976, pests and disease cost U.S. taxpayers $12 billion in damage and control.

Wilt-Resistant Tomatoes Face Fusarium and Verticillium Threats
Home gardeners often plant resistant tomato varieties to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt but may still encounter infection at any age. Symptoms include leaf drooping, yellowing, and browning, with water transport blocked as vessels are damaged. Control relies on long soil rotation, resistant cultivars, and avoiding crop rotations with related nightshades.

Insects Peak as Ohio Enters Summer Plant Season
Ohio temperatures rise with little rain as insect activity increases. Extension entomologist William Lyon advises gardeners to inspect and treat for imported cabbage worm, cabbage flea beetles, cabbage root maggot, striped cucumber beetles, seed maggots, onion maggot, european corn borer, and carrot beetle, urging use of seed treatments and local extension agent guidance, noting 1978 bulletin 459 on Vegetable Insect and Disease Control for Commercial Growers.

Slow release fertilizer helps lawns through summer heat
Homeowners should apply a slow release fertilizer in late spring and water during dry spells to extend nutrients for six to eight weeks. This final feeding supports lawn color and resilience through heat and periods without rain. Dogs have historically been the most obvious rabies vectors due to close human contact, though any warm blooded mammal can transmit rabies.
