Putting Green Workshop: Focusing on the FundamentalsZach Nicoludis, United States Golf Association

Diagnosing Landscape Problems: A Stepwise Approach will teach the steps of problem diagnosis, including tips for proper identification of the host, as well as key symptoms and signs to help identify plant diseases and other problems on trees, shrubs, and turf. There are many look-alike problems and expression of symptoms is a dynamic process — with symptoms changing in appearance over time. This interactive session will combine photos with hands-on diagnosis of samples in a stepwise approach to problem solving. This hands-on workshop will conclude with a review of the samples, allowing you to self-test your knowledge of the problems presented.
