Some plants and trees are resistant to juglone including some species of maple (Acer), birch (Betula), and beech (Fagus). [citation needed] It is highly toxic to many insect herbivores. However, some of them, example Actias luna (Luna moth), can detoxify juglone (and related naphthoquinones) to non-toxic 1,4,5-trihydroxynaphthalene.
Severely cankered trees cannot be restored to good health and should be completely removed from the site and if possible, burned to remove the source of inoculum. [4] [5] [11] To date, there have been no fungicides which have been able to provide prevention or arrest the development of Leucostoma canker on spruce trees [4] [5] [11]

[3] Another serious pest are bagworms. These pests can defoliate a tree completely if present in large enough numbers.
It can often be difficult in practice to distinguish allelopathy from resource competition. While the former is caused by the addition of a harmful chemical agent to the environment, the latter is caused by the removal of essential resources (nutrients, light, water, etc.). Often, both mechanisms can act simultaneously.

The most common insecticide is imidacloprid, which can be effective for several years if absorbed through the soil. [16] Tree roots absorb and transport the product into the foliage and kill hemlock woolly adelgid. Soil drenches must be applied when soil moisture is adequate for the tree roots to absorb the product.
