2020: the International Year of Plant Health
The United Nations General Assembly (UN) has declared 2020 the "International Year of Plant Health". This highlights the importance of healthy plants for food security and ecosystems on earth. Together with the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI), we are therefore addressing the current problems for tree care and discussing possible solutions for healthy green in our cities. Our main topics are:
- Current tree diseases
- Drought stress and tree management
- Root zone and tree health
- Rope climbing technique - innovations, safety and efficiency
- Sustainability in tree care
- Accidents and the importance of aftercare
The entire programme is scientifically based and prepared for practical use. All lectures will be simultaneously translated.
Trees - more important than ever
The more climate change progresses, the more important trees become. But our native trees are increasingly stressed by heat and drought, becoming easy targets for pests and diseases. According to the organisation “Bund Deutscher Forstleute”, more than 100 million old trees have already died in Germany's forests as a result of climate change. In the Harz Mountains, for example, the bark beetle has caused drastic damage to the weakened trees. But it is not only the well-known pests that cause us concern. As it gets warmer, more harmful organisms from more southern regions migrate to us and bring new pests and tree diseases.
Together with the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI), we have discussed these problems and created the lectures from them. The transfer of knowledge between research and practice has always been our guiding principle. I think this cooperation has resulted in a highly up-to-date programme. The JKI staff will also be available to answer questions during breaks.
I am already looking forward to interesting lectures and discussions in Augsburg.
Best regards
Yours D. Dujesiefken
