The Abiotic Problems module will provide an in-depth study of common abiotic stresses on trees and woody plants. We will discuss specific abiotic disorders associated with environmental conditions, nutrient deficiencies, chemical injury, animal and mechanical damage along with various other stresses people inflict on plants. We will also cover diagnostic skills needed to recognize these stresses and suggest remedies to correct, minimize or prevent these problems. We will discuss the importance of laboratory analysis of soil, water and tissue samples in properly diagnosing plant problems.
