Plant Disease Identification

Proper diagnosis is critical to effectively manage pest problems on agronomic crops or ornamentals and turf. Disease organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses can damage and or kill a wide variety of plant materials in Georgia. It is essential to identify the organism accurately before implementing control strategies. Proper identification prevents waste of time and money by using the wrong material to control a pest and also prevents exposure of the environment to excess pesticide.

 

The Fayette County Extension Service can assist you with disease identification on agronomic crops, ornamentals and turfgrass.

Plant disease samples can be submitted through the Fayette County for appropriate recommendations, including cultural practices and chemical recommendations, to reduce disease damage. Results in most cases will return in approximately 24-48 hours. There is no fee for this service.
