Plant healthcare is unlike anything else in the Green Industry and requires specialized tools to perform the work properly. Rainbow Ecoscience in coordination with Trinity Blacklands will come together for this 2 hour lunch and learn. During the time together we will be combining world-class horticultural and arboricultural research with a ground-up understanding of day-to-day operations of running a service company. Attendees will be leaving with knowledge identifying drought situations and leave with a understanding on how to develop a PHC program.

Agenda
9:00 - 9:45 AM Introduction
Jim Casey, South Central Territory Manager, Rainbow Ecoscience
10:00 - 10:45 AM Innovative Solutions for Desperate Drought Situations
Cory McCurry, Arborologist, Rainbow Ecoscience
This drought presentation will provide a comprehensive examination of the scientific fundamentals and ecological implications of drought, specifically focusing on its influence on landscape vegetation. Through an analysis of the physiological responses of plants to drought stress, the presentation aims to explore the consequential impacts within ecological contexts. Additionally, the session encompasses an in-depth review of contemporary management approaches, emphasizing interventions essential for mitigating the effects of drought on landscape plants. Participation promises an opportunity to connect scientific inquiry with applicable solutions for enhancing landscape resilience amidst water scarcity.
10:45 - 11:30 AM Developing a PHC program.
Cory McCurry, Arborologist, Rainbow Ecoscience
Plant healthcare is an important aspect for many businesses within the green industry. When working with living organisms, we are often tasked to change microclimates accordingly with nature. Limitations often arise, and because of this we are left treating reactively and not preventatively. This presentation will provide insightful information on using a “Tool-box” approach, including appropriate response processes for developing your PHC program.
11:30 AM Lunch
