Plant Diagnostic Labs

Most states have a university lab that will look at a sick plant, an insect or a weed and tell you what it is. They are run by Cooperative Extension and usually charge a small fee. Enter your ZIP code to put the closest lab first, or pick a test to see which labs run it.

Other States

No lab is listed here yet for these states and territories. Your local Extension office can tell you where to send a sample.

The National Plant Diagnostic Network lists every member lab, including state agriculture department labs.
