Activity #2

Work in a group. Do your best to make sure that everyone participates. It’s not a race, take your time and have a good discussion. We will go over the answers together.

View each scenario below. Then, discuss as a group:

What plant is this?
Is there a real problem?
What is the population of the affected plant?
Describe the pattern of damage
Is the problem spreading, improving or constant?
Describe the symptoms and signs you are seeing?
What resources would you use?
