Become a Plant Crime Scene Investigator (CSI)! Learn about key plant diseases and insect pests that can cause problems for favorite trees and shrubs in the landscape. Why is your juniper turning brown? Should that pine have orange needles? And why does my hemlock look like it has been covered in lint? There are a number of common insect pests, diseases and abiotic problems that impact the health of both native and landscape conifers in our region. This course will help you identify common conifer diseases and insect pests including rusts, twig and needle blights, needle casts, adelgids, and moths. Abiotic stresses will also be discussed. Plant Health Care (PHC) approaches to management, including Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods will be covered. Taught by Bess Bronstein Cost: $35
