Assessment of phytopathological state of woody plants by ultrasound diagnostics

The state of the wood trunk tissue of trees Cupressus sempervirens 'Stricta', Morus nigra L., Magnólia grandiflóra L., Carpinus orientalis Mill., growing in the Park of the Educational center "Sirius" (Sochi) was determined with the use of complex acoustic ultrasound tomography ARBOTOM® ABT05-S. It was revealed that these species were characterized by a significant differentiation in the degree of damage to bracket fungi. Low level of phytopathogenic damage was observed in Carpinus orientalis . The trunk wood of Morus nigra was characterized by the highest rates of phytopathogenic damage. The negative impact of bracket fungi is one of the most significant factors that reduce vital functions and reduce the life of many species of woody plants. Phytopathogenic damage to wood and trunk rot formation and voids have an impact on the growth and development of plants, reducing their life time, and can lead to death and fall of a tree, which within the urban environment is a potential danger to people.
