12.01.2022 Considerations for Diagnosis of Ornamentals in the Landscape Publication Diagnosing landscape plant problems can be challenging. However, an assessment of the e...ntire growing site may aid in the diagnostic process. This publication was designed to provide a starting point for determining possible causes behind various plant problems. The step-by-step guide directs the user through the diagnostic process of observation and information gathering. Possible causes are suggested as part of the list of symptoms. Should the field site diagnosis be inconclusive and samples need to be submitted to one of the University of Kentucky Plant Diagnostic Laboratories, the information gathered with the help of this publication can provide valuable supplementary information. #plantproblemdiagnosis #KYExtension #UKAg

08.01.2022 Hajj, observed this year between 19 and 24 August, is the annual religious pilgrimage to Mecca with thousands of Aussie travellers heading to Saudi Arabia every... year to participate. If you are heading to Mecca and plan to bring gifts back with you, it’s important to know what traditional items may not be permitted. Because Australia is free from many of the pests and diseases found in other parts of the world, items containing plant or animal products must be declared on your Incoming Passenger Card for inspection by biosecurity officers. This includes products containing meat, dairy and fruit (like pomegranates, dates and figs) as well as neem and tobacco. Undeclared plant or animal material could introduce plant pests like the bacteria Xylella fastidiosa, Australia’s #1 priority plant pathogen, fruit flies or diseases like foot-and-mouth.
