Training Reference 2IDENTIFYING AND CONTROLLING PLANT DISORDERS PRACTICUMThis practicum is aimed at developing in students the ability to recognize andrecommend remedial measures for various types of plant disorders and/or pests.Included among these are environmental, nutritional, pest-related, and disease-relateddisorders.Five different stations depicting plant disorders will be included. The participant mustidentify the item and its classification (disease, insect/pest/mites,nutritional/environmental). The participant then must determine the chemical and/orcultural controls for the disorder. Each participant will identify 5 specimens valued at 10points each. Identifying the disorder correctly will be worth five points.Pest and disorder items may be presented as an intact specimen, photograph orpreserved specimen (herbarium sheet, insect mount, etc.). Each specimen will bedesignated by a station number. No specimens or items may be touched or handled inany way.
