Insect and disease impacts must be included when assessing vegetative conditions now and in the future. Insect and disease model extensions to FVS are available to aid in assessing vegetative development. A method for describing initial conditions for dwarf mistletoes and root diseases that can be used to provide input to the Western Root Disease Model and the Interium Dwarf Mistletoe Model is described. This method can be used in extensive reconnaissance. Results of extensive surveys from a portion of a 6,000 acre planning area are presented. Root diseases are estimated to occur at some level in 90 percent of the stands. WRDM keyword development strategy based on root disease severity is presented. Intensive examinations and use of preexisting data will be used to build FVS treelist files. Modeled stands will then be used to establish treatment priorities.
