PLANT DISEASES

Hello, everyone. My name is Brian Hudelson. I’m the Director of the Plant Disease Diagnostics Clinic at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I’m going to be leading this discussion on plant diseases today. Now, I know for a lot of you, the topic of plant diseases can be rather intimidating. But I have to say that I am a plant pathologist. I think this topic is REALLY, REALLY pretty cool, and I’m hoping by the end of the presentation, you’ll be a little less nervous about thinking about plant diseases and how to manage them, and I’m hoping also that maybe you’ll find some of the diseases that we discuss really pretty cool, the way that I do.
