GCREC's Plant Diagnostic Clinic

Learn how rapid disease diagnosis helps strawberry growers identify and manage crop diseases following hurricanes.

When Plant Health Problems Arise, We Find Answers

The GCREC Plant Diagnostic Clinic diagnoses a wide range of plant health issues, with a primary focus on diseases caused by fungal, bacterial, and oomycete pathogens.

We commonly work with strawberries, vegetables, and ornamental crops, supporting commercial growers, Extension agents, researchers, and other agricultural professionals.

Diagnostic services include evaluation of plant symptoms and signs, pathogen isolation and identification, and molecular-based testing when appropriate.

A Partnership Supporting Florida Growers
