​ Tree Pathology Laboratory

Advisor: Dr. Byeongjin Cha

In our laboratory, we are researching chemical and biological control methods, accurately diagnosing the causes of various diseases that appear on trees by pathogens and viruses. In addition, with the pride of being the center of plant pathology in Korea, we are conducting various activities and research, such as diagnosing various disorders that occurred by abiotic causes in addition to pathogens and researching ways to restore vitality, so that trees can live healthily.
