1 Growing Knowledge Nasty Nostoc Researchers explore treatments for this slime-like bacterium, which causes headaches in nursery production By Heather Stoven and Jennifer Parke What is this green, globby, slimy stuff in my nursery, and how do I get rid of it? If you have wondered this, chances are you are referring to Nostoc, a type of cyanobacteria. While sometimes called a blue-green alga, this organism is actually a bacterium that derives its energy from photosynthesis. It can also fix nitrogen. Nostoc colonies are composed of chains of bacteria that grow on the surface of soil, gravel and even cement. When dry, Nostoc is barely noticeable, forming dark, flaky, paper-like sheets. When wet, it swells up and forms conspicuous green to greenish-brown globby, squishy mats that may carpet an entire can yard, especially if the ground is compacted and poorly drained. The colonies are covered by a jelly-like sheath, which contributes to the colony s ability to tolerate extended periods of drought and freezing temperatures. These characteristics have also made Nostoc challenging to control in a nursery setting, where it has become more widespread in recent years on soil, gravel, and groundcloth. Impact on nursery production The sudden appearance of Nostoc after rainfall led people in ancient times to believe that it fell from the sky, hence the common names star jelly, star slime, or heaven vegetable. So, where did it come from? Nostoc is distributed around the world in poorly Close-up view of Nostoc, a cyanobacterium, which can create a safety hazard in nursery production and can also affect the appearance of containerized nursery products. An ongoing series provided by Oregon State University in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture and in partnership with OAN june 2014 DIGGER 25
2 nasty nostoc draining habitats, particularly where phosphorus and other nutrients are abundant. But Nostoc is not just a biological curiosity. It impacts nursery production in two ways. Worker safety is the primary issue, as Nostoc is slippery while wet and often grows on hard surfaces and walkways, where workers can easily lose footing and sustain injury. Another issue with this organism is its ability to grow on the bottom of containers, creating an unsightly product for customers. We conducted field trials in two container nurseries in summer of 2013 to explore physical and chemical methods for control of Nostoc. One nursery was in Clackamas County and the other in Yamhill County. Treatments were tested in 1-meter square plots with four replicates at each site. Treatments were applied twice, two weeks apart, beginning in July. Treatments included: 1. GreenCleanPRO, BioSafe Systems (2 pounds/1,000 square feet, applied as a liquid solution); 2. Axxe, BioSafe Systems (10 percent by volume solution); 3. Copper Sulfate, Chem One (2.6 ounces/2 gallons for 1,000 square feet); 4. Heat (propane burner); 5. Solarization (Thermax clear 6-mm anti-condensation plastic film made by AT Films, Alberta, Canada); and 6. Untreated control. Experimental treatments were chosen based on personal communications with growers regarding their experiences, and reviews of chemical products and available literature. Both GreenCleanPRO and Axxe have algae listed on the label for nursery use. GreenCleanPRO is sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, which acts as an oxidizer. Axxe is ammonium nonanoate which is an herbicidal soap that disrupts plant cell membranes. Copper sulfate pentahydrate, labeled for Nostoc control in water, deactivates enzyme systems and has been reported previously as being effective at controlling Nostoc. It is not labeled for application to soil or gravel, however, and may Table 1. Scientists treated test plots for Nostoc at two locations, one in Yamhill County, one in Clackamas County, to gauge the effectiveness of various treatments. After six weeks, the coverage and the vigor of the remaining bacterium were rated on a scale of 1 5, with a 5 representing complete coverage or maximum vigor. The average ratings for each site are below. Values within each column followed by the same letter do not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Clackamas County site in July.

3 pose a hazard to fish and aquatic invertebrates exposed to contaminated runoff. The 1-meter plot areas were rated visually on a scale of 1 5 for both percent coverage of the plot by Nostoc as well as its vigor. Ratings were performed on three dates: the day of the first application, two weeks after the second application (four weeks after experiment initiation), and a final evaluation four weeks after the second application date (six weeks after experiment initiation). The percentage of the plot covered by Nostoc was rated as follows: 1 = 0 20 percent of the plot covered with Nostoc; 2 = percent coverage 3 = percent coverage 4 = percent coverage 5 = percent coverage The rating for Nostoc vigor ranged from 1 5, with 1 representing death or disappearance, and 5 meaning that the bacterium appeared completely healthy and vigorous. Results The two sites had similar results from the treatment applications. Some differences between the sites were likely due to initial Nostoc coverage and vigor differences. The Clackamas County site had extensive mats of Nostoc, whereas the Yamhill County site initially had a number of plots that had spotty Nostoc growth (average rating of 1.9). However, both sites contributed to our knowledge about this problematic cyanobacterium. At the Clackamas County site, the rating data at the final evaluation (six weeks after experiment initiation) showed that copper sulfate plots had less than 20 percent of the plot covered by Nostoc, with a vigor rating of 1.0 (Table 1). The heat and solarization treatments also had less Nostoc than the untreated control plots at percent coverage. The control plots all had ratings above 4 for both vigor and percent coverage throughout the trial. GreenClean and Axxe applications did not reduce plot coverage by Nostoc.

4 nasty nostoc Nostoc can completely cover a container yard, creating a slip hazard for nursery workers. For the Yamhill County location, when evaluating percent coverage by Nostoc, solarization was the only treatment statistically different from the untreated control. Both the copper sulfate and solarization plots were rated as less vigorous than the untreated control, GreenClean, Axxe and heat treatments. Although the two test sites showed similar trends, there are likely reasons why some treatments were more effective at one location over the other. The heat treatment was likely more effective at the Clackamas County site due to a different apparatus being used. The burner used at the Clackamas site (manufactured by Flame Engineering), had a flaming component whereas the burner used for the Yamhill site did not. We also believe that solarization was more effective in Yamhill County due to the slope of the experimental test area. It s still Acers to Zelkova, including new Dogwood & more!

5 Irrigation water accumulated on top of the plastic at the Clackamas County site, reducing solar heating. It is not known why the copper sulfate in Clackamas County was more effective than in Yamhill County. In 2014, we will continue this work with the help of Dr. Carol Mallory-Smith, OSU weed scientist. We will evaluate chemical treatments with different modes of action that target the photosynthetic pathway or nitrogen-fixing pathway. Further information on control of Nostoc sp. in Oregon nurseries will give growers more tools to mitigate this expanding problem that affects worker safety as well as other production-related aesthetic concerns. An integrated approach, investigating multiple control methods, may give producers additional options for managing this challenging organism.
