Improving and Enjoying Plant Diagnostics

Diagnosing plant diseases and disorders is a combination of fact-filled science with the art of intuition. Jenny Glass, Diagnostician at the WSU Puyallup Plant & Insect Diagnostic Laboratory, will share her diagnostic adventures of over two decades trying to solve plant problems. Come bring your plant problem questions and expect a lively story and idea exchange. Jenny will discuss applying your strengths in the diagnostic process, looking at symptom patterns to help you determine if the origin of damage results from nonliving and/or living cause(s), and how understanding the plant disease triangle concept will help you focus your efforts on prevention and management of garden and landscape problems.
