It turns out there are sub-strains of toxins produced within that type of fusarium. Since the first fusarium epidemics struck Manitoba in the early 1990s, the dominant sub-strain was 15A DON. It was the type that produced the one-to-one correlation with fusarium-damaged kernels. Scientists aren't sure why. "We don't have a very clear cause and effect to give us straight answers," says University of Manitoba plant pathologist Dilantha Fernando, one of the scientists tracking the change. If the disease is striking later, due to climatic conditions or other causes, the kernels are more fully formed and likely to remain in the harvest. Fungicide might have the same effect by delaying or suppressing the disease's assault on the plant, increasing the likelihood more toxin-carrying seed ends u...

Other tree species are not so well managed. Varieties of ash trees such as green ash, black ash and Manchurian ash have been increasingly used throughout the city as well as in southern Manitoba largely as an easy way to establish replacements for American elm.

However within the last few years, a very destructive insect called the emerald ash borer has been destroying millions of ash trees in Michigan, northern Ohio, northern Indiana and southwestern Ontario. It kills swiftly and without biological impunity. To date there are no treatments to eradicate this pest except to remove the infested tree. It is heading north though Michigan and tolerates low winter temperatures....

More and more small holders are forming fair-trade co-operatives or community associations in order to take advantage of having this "extra" money to purchase drip irrigation and other low-impact technologies, to reduce pest infestations without the use of harmful chemicals, or to plant shade trees to attract birds and lessen evaporation.
