Research relating electrical measurements to vigor continues. Additional advances are expected from current research on remote sensing, electrotherapy, and on the development 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.
