Electrical Techniques for Disease Diagnosis    (View PDF)

Terry A. Tattar and Robert O. Blanchard

Abstract: Electrical measurements are currently being used to detect and diagnose cold temperature injury, internal discoloration and decay, root rot, vascular wilt disease, air pollution injury, cankers, and proliferation disease in trees. Research relating electrical measurements to vigor con­ tinues. Additional advances are expected from current resear­ ch on remote sensing, electrotherapy, and on the develop­ ment of new electrical diagnostic tools. Electrical measurements, when used in addition to presently available techniques, should yield increased accuracy in diagnosis and in many cases early detection of tree disease.
