    Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic At NFREC

    What it is we do,
    The North Florida Research and Education Center Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic provides plant disease diagnostic services for Commercial Growers, Consultants and Homeowners in Florida and neighboring States.

    The clinic is a facility of NFREC and the Plant Pathology Department at University of Florida/IFAS.  This partnership allows the clinic to maintain a strong connection with extension specialists and researchers in the field of Plant Pathology, Entomology, Nematology, Horticultural Sciences and Agronomy.

    The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic works primarily through Extension county offices in North Florida. If there is an office near you, you may want to contact them for assistance with your plant disease problems.

    The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic is closed weekends and holidays.
