Plant Disorders

Plant Disorders, Diseases, and Insect Identification (100 Points per Contestant)

Participants will be required to correctly identify 10 plant disorders, diseases, and/or insects. Specimens may be presented as whole plants or plant parts displaying the disorder symptoms, as preserved plants, or as photographs. All samples will be limited to crops on the plant identification list. A number will designate each specimen, and the participant is to correctly match the disorder, disease, or insect by filling out the appropriate scorecard and related scan sheet. In the Practicum Portion, two different examples of the same item will be displayed. Twenty (20) minutes will be allowed for Plant Disease, Disorder and Insect Identification and Placing Classes.
