LA013: NEW - Fungamentals Theory 2 and 3 – Theory of Planting, Pruning, and Root Management
Join Kyle for a review of industry best practice for planting, pruning and root management. Focus will be on understanding the relationship between trees and fungi, and the role fungi play in these three aspects of plant health care.
Although not required it is recommended that attendees have an in depth understanding of Fungi and Integrated Pest Management principles introduced in Fungamentals 1
Details Covered Include
Half day spent reviewing the intricacies of the relationship between trees and fungi throughout their life cycles.
The second half will introduce the relationships between trees and fungi that live on roots (decay and mycorrhizae), tools for minimizing impact while working around roots and ID skills work.
Participants will also get the chance to inspect and dissecting planting stock that is applicable to technical arborists and plant healthcare professionals.
Expectations and Goals
To improve skills for fungal field ID, the role fungi play in choosing trees for planting, and once planted, how fungi interact with trees above and below ground. The focus is to improve comprehension of the interactions between trees and fungi, built on a scientific foundation. Understanding and communicating signs and symptoms of root impact in the canopy.
Other skills explored - diagnosis of decay, symptoms of root impact in canopy, understanding the relationship between proper planting, root death, and when to use pruning techniques (above and below ground) to preserve trees and extend their valuable service life.
Bracket fungi ID skills – Review of Ganoderma, Kretzschmaria, Armillaria, Laetiporus, and Pholiota
