Final Exam
Relationship to Campus Theme: Nature, Technology and Beyond
Plant diseases impact our forests, parks, and urban landscapes. Yet, in
nature
diseases play an
important role in promoting diversity among species as well as helping to keep overall plant populations
strong. New
technologies
are introduced constantly in order to battle these pathogens. The
future
of
plant pathology will be to find ways to work with nature in order to prevent disease instead of trying to
control it.
