| The Clinic is designed
to provide plant disease diagnostic services
for anyone interested in plant diseases. Our
services include analysis of plant material
and soil for bacterial, fungal, viral, and
nematode pathogens as well as suggesting appropriate
control measures when available. Our clients
include Extension Educators, Growers, Retailers,
Arborists, Golf Courses, Researchers, and
Homeowners. The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic
works very closely with the Cornell Cooperative
Extension county offices. If there
is an office near you, you may want to contact
them for assistance with your plant disease
problem. The Cooperative Extension staff are
very helpful and may be able to satisfy your
needs. If no office is available or if you
would like to use our services directly, please
review the pages of this document for information
on fees, sample submission, and plant disease
fact sheets. Please follow the instructions
for submitting samples carefully. The diagnosis
of a sample that was improperly collected,
packed, and/or shipped and arrives in poor
shape is very difficult. |
| This Web Site
allows users to quickly access information
by utilizing the subject specific icons found
on the left of this page. You may also visit
the pages on Fees, Sample Submission methods, the Sample Submission Form, and plant disease
Diagnostic Fact Sheets for generic information
and an alphabetical listing of fact sheets.

disease diagnosis, quick turn around time,
professional services, and up-to-date control
recommendations. The Clinic promotes a "Test,
Don't Guess" attitude. Knowing
the pest prior to taking action allows for
more efficient use and selection of control
methods.
