Year-Round Plant Disease and Insect Identification Services

The primary goal of the Plant Disease and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory (PDIDL) is to provide Oklahomans with accurate diagnoses and control recommendations for plant diseases and insect pest infestations. The laboratory operates throughout the year to provide identification services to extension agents, consultants, commercial producers and other individuals.

Supporting Agriculture and Rural Development

The mission of OSU Extension is to share and encourage the use of research-based information related to agriculture, home economics, rural development and 4-H youth activities. Whether it's a pine tree that looks sick or a wheat crop that is stunted and yellow in low-lying areas, we are here to help solve plant disease problems.
