Raj, give us a little history of your lab.

The lab was established as a plant diagnostic clinic in 1972 and was operated mostly by plant pathology faculty with Extension appointments until 2007.

Dear NPDN friends,
 

Ana Cristina Fulladolsa

West Virginia University Plant Diagnostic Clinic (NEPDN)

Give us a little history of your lab.

The diagnostic lab has been in operation since 1995 and serves the entire state of West Virginia. We average about 500 samples a year. A biologist with the West Virginia Department of Agriculture cooperates with the lab primarily by providing entomological diagnoses. Our lab is not yet STAR-D accredited.
