Speaker: Chelsi Abbott, Davey Tree Institute
Diagnosing plant problems is one of the most important skills an arborist can have in their tool kit, but it can be quite a daunting task. This is because plant issues are often being caused by any number of different insects, fungi, and environmental factors all occurring at once. Where does one even start? Diagnostics is a skill, but it is also a systematic process. This talk will aim to demystify the process to build a foundation that attendees can use to build upon and hone their own practice of diagnostics.
