The Plant Diagnostic Center is a one-stop shop for all your plant health problems. Services available through the center include:

• plant disease diagnosis (biotic and abiotic causes)
• insect and mite diagnosis/identification (plant related only)
• nematode diagnosis/ identification
• weed identification

The staff of the Plant Diagnostic Center has the training and experience to help you solve your problems associated with your unhealthy plants. Before you submit a sample, however, we suggest you contact your local LSU AgCenter extension agent. Agents are familiar with many of the common plant problems that we encounter and can help evaluate the situation as well as collect and submit the appropriate samples.
