G94-1200 Anthracnose Diseases Of Shade Trees (Revised July 1997), Laurie J. Stepanek, Mark O. Harrell, David S. Wysong
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes anthracnose diseases in sycamore, ash, oak, maple and walnut trees and offers suggestions for control.
Anthracnose diseases affect a wide variety of plants including many popular shade trees. Sycamore, ash, oak, maple, and walnut commonly exhibit symptoms each spring. Although the symptoms may appear serious, anthracnose diseases rarely kill trees. In most cases, healthy trees quickly recover from anthracnose infections with little damage to their long-term health.

G94-1204 Face Fly Control Guide, John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The face fly congregates about the eyes and nose of animals, causing annoyance and possible disease transmission. This NebGuide discusses face fly breeding and effective controls.
The face fly closely resembles the house fly except it is slightly larger and darker. Other differentiating characteristics include: 1) the abdomen of the male face fly is orange and the female has an orange stripe; the abdomen of the house fly is white or light grey and 2) the compound eyes of male face flies nearly touch but are separated in the house flies.
The persistence and habit of congregating about the eyes …

Shattercane (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a forage-type sorghum also known as black amber, chicken-corn, and wild cane. Infestations are most prevalent in Nebraska river valleys and tributaries, but are found in upland areas also.

G94-1220 Controlling Ticks, John B. Campbell, Gustave D. Thomas
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Identification and control of ticks common to Nebraska.
Ticks are members of the same phylum (Arthropoda) of the animal kingdom as insects, but are in a different class (Arachnida). The main difference is the body of a tick is composed of only two sections while insect bodies have three sections.
There are over 800 species of ticks, 100 of which are important to man and animals because of economic losses or disease transmission. Fortunately in the United States, only about 12 species are economically important because they transmit disease organisms (viral, bacterial, protozoan, and rickettsial) or cause economic losses to …
