If you have one that’s not too identifiable, may I ask for one of your favorite plant fun facts?
I'll give you two general plant pathology fun facts. When faced with a biotrophic pathogen (one that invades and consumes living cells, though some do this for hemibiotrophic pathogens too) the plant may trigger a kind of localised defensive cell death called a Hypersensitive Response (HR). It acts a bit like a biological fire break, creating a region the pathogen cannot progress too far into, and halting much more extensive damage.
Another one! Plants can have their whole-body immune response primed in advance, meaning that when the pathogen does come around, the plant might have a better chance fighting it. There's at least two forms of this, each playing with different signalling hormones: Systematic Acquired Resistance (SAR) with the Salicylic Acid pathways, and Induced Systematic Resistance (ISR) with the Jasmonate and Ethylene pathways. But they can be primed by things other than pathogens: benign soil bacteria is a common one, especially for ISR.

What I am up to rn. I am currently doing studying for applicator exam. and treating ash trees for both anthracnose fungus and borer.
Right now im currently doing a bit more fundamental training on application.
Here Is an example of what I am doing at work right now as I actively work on my applicator license. A calculator, a sounding mallet with two different rubber heads of various density,  and dbh tape as well as a drill can be seen. Many different systemics are used for ash tree treatments but treeage as an EC emulsifiable concentrate pressure injectable. EC just means that they are not water soluble liquids, instead they are oil soluble compounds after an emulcifiable agent is added. Instead of beading they became liquid ‘solution’. EC are usually better environmentally, because if a spill does occur they do not readily move with water or penetrate with water and begin breaking down more easily. treeage, by label, is recommended for 2 year usage. so It is 100% active for 2 years. the dye is UV black light notable, meaning even after washing hands and ppe you can see residuals under black light if they are still present.
the label goes by dbh, 4 feet from grade diameter at breast height,  the label also has notes to not mix with water as they do not mix. .5 ml per inch DBH is the measure for usage. Injection wound are to be made deep to get as much transduction as possible through functioning protoplasm not just active xylem and phloem. but require the wound to be made through active phloem and xylem; this is why a sounding mallet is necessary for making the hole. dense acoustic resonance allows us to select and decent relatively intact section of the tree minimally undamaged by the borer over each year; dense solid sounds are critical. Hammering the inlet iv insert till it doesn’t move means you have a good seal for pressure to work. Veritassium has a good youtube video on atm pressures in trees that can help shed light on why pressurized systems are critical for ensuring uptake. Once canisters are pressurized we can use the system. Trees in areas where beneficial insects are present and outside of general sterile landscapes that show signs of resistance shouldn’t be injected unless ethically the tree is critical for spring formation or its a state or nat champ.

Understanding that environment, stress, and host and pathogen activity are critical for pathogens to need treatment is the only ethical reason to pursue treatments. With out all three being present we don’t have an issue necessarily unless the invasive species works under time constraints and alters other corners in their favor(most do) . Evolution is a counter but rarely happens faster than the problem can work to do damage. Larval movement occurs fast! the timing to treat to prevent the most damage starts with leafing out but also pathogen movement. Degree days is usually how most people know when to treat. However climate change can be very problematic in many cases. Ag extensions are there to help ! For Ash trees in my region we start at the beginning of the black locust blooms which shares phonological overlap and try to provide services until after june. so usually mid may- june.
This year saw a wet spring too. which means early anthracnose appearance which forced us to do more propizol injections before ash borer treatments unfortunately.
I currently use a psi by hard wood fjet series arbor jet system. A bucket is also great for containment of spills if a treeage container leaks I have a bucket.
Though the label may not say it, I use nitrile gloves as ppe because fuck insecticides.

first week of irl classes went great :) im looooving the courses so far !!!!! last semester i was learning more applied practices for landscaping which is cool, but i love the biological aspects of plants too! plant pathology is probably gonna end up being a big interest of mine

Three Elements of the Disease Triangle

Harvesting and utilization of Marula (Sclerocarya birrea) by Smallholder farmers: A review
Abstract
Marula tree has been classified as a multipurpose tree and very important to smallholder farmers in arid and semi-arid areas. Most farmers harvest fruits at ripe stage by picking from the ground. Few farmers harvest Marula fruits from the tree. Smallholder farmers also harvest tree bark and branches for several uses. Utilization of Marula has been a major income generation for smallholder farmers through selling of Marula juice, nuts and butter. Famers also harvest non-timber forest products such as edible worms which they use for human consumption as relish and harvest die which is use for coloring fish harvesting nets. Marula is also used for provision of medicines where farmers harvest roots, bark and leaves for use in curing diseases. Farmers are recommended to harvest Marula tree in a conservation way so as to  allow regeneration of the tree.

Comparative Analysis of Blights: Early Blight, Late Blight, and Gummy Stem Blight
In the field of plant pathology, the ability to differentiate between different diseases is essential for efficient crop management. This article examines the traits that differentiate Early Blight, Late Blight, and Gummy Stem Blight. Early Blight Early Blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, is a common disease that affects a wide range of plants, particularly those in the Solanaceae…

Castanea dentata
I know i’ll live to see these get bigger than 20 dbh in my lifetime and that makes me smile knowing that i’ve helped do research on these.
For any botanist out there who is trying to work on something cool, working with TACF was one of my favorite internships. I worked with the South Carolina chapter doing an internship and I think you should help while the science is good.
There is also jobs out there that are through the ACF website and not TACF state chapter specific. https://acf.org/employment/
