SUMMARY:FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Do You Know the Ascomycete Wood Decayers of Urban Trees? - A Prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Most arborists recognize that mushrooms\, brackets and conks of the basidiomycete fungi on urban trees indicate internal decay. However\, one of the most important wood decay fungi is also one of the most obscure. Kretzschmaria deusta is an ascomycete wood decay pathogen with a very wide host range and one that can break barrier and reaction zones and cause extensive decay in the lower trunk and buttress roots. This presentation will discuss ascomycete wood decay by focusing on Kretzschmaria deusta and other ascomycete wood decay fungi. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference which ties into Dr. Luley’s talk called “Biology\, Identification and Management of Wood Decay in Urban Trees.” \n\n\n\n0.5 CEUs available \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required. Click on ‘Register Online’ on the right side of the screen to register. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristopher J. Luley\, Ph.D. has BS and MS from SUNY ESF in Syracuse in Forest Pathology. His Ph.D. is from Iowa State University in plant pathology where he also managed the Plant Diagnostic Clinic. He was Forest Pathologist for the State of Missouri\, and has been a consultant since 1991. In 2017 he started Urban Forest Diagnostic. Dr. Luley has over 70 scientific\, technical and popular press articles and received the R. W. Harris Authors Award from the International Society of Arboriculture. He developed TreeRot.com and recently received the Brian Skinner Lifetime Achievement Award from the NYS Arborist\, ISA Chapter and author award from the Midwest Chapter of ISA.   \n\n\n\nSpecial Thanks!\n\n\n\nThank you to UW-Extension for coordinating this event with us.  We look forward to partnering on future events with you!

SUMMARY:2024 PDDC Plant Disease Talks
DESCRIPTION:Each month in 2024\, the University of Wisconsin Plant Disease Diagnostics Clinic will sponsor a free Zoom presentation on a plant disease-related topic. Check out descriptions of the talks below. If you have questions about the presentations\, feel free to contact Brian Hudelson at (608) 262-2863 or hudelson@wisc.edu. To register for one or more talks\, visit https://pddc.wisc.edu/. Check at the bottom of the page for a link to the registration form. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTop 10 Plant Diseases of 2023 – Jan 24 6:30pm to 8:30pmLearn about 10 plant diseases that made a splash at the UW- Madison Plant Disease Diagnostics Clinic in 2023. Diseases include both those that were submitted the most commonly to the clinic and those that potentially had the biggest impact from an economic or regulatory standpoint. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFun and Games at the PDDC! – Feb 24 6:30pm to 8:30pmLearn about the UW-Madison Plant Disease Diagnostics Clinic and the services and activities that it sponsors.
