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.
