Philip M. Wargo

Abstract: The effects of defoliation are not dependent on defoliation alone but on a complex interaction of many factors. The major influencing factors of severity, frequency, and timing of defoliation, growing conditions, secondary organisms, and tree vigor are discussed. Some of the adverse effects of defoliation are described and recommendations for preventing or lessening these effects are given.
