Summary

To manage a disease effectively, you often have to determine which specific pathogens are present. Many control actions are effective only against certain pathogens; if you do not correctly identify the cause of unhealthy plants, your control actions may be ineffective, resulting in plant damage and wasting time and money. This publication describes test kits that identify some common plant viruses and root and crown decay fungi.
