The Plant Disease Clinic

The Plant Disease Clinic provide clinical diagnoses of plant diseases for more than 2,600 samples submitted annually by Pennsylvania producers and homeowners. There is no charge for this service but we ask that the plants be located in a garden or landscape in the state of Pennsylvania only.

 

Solution Source

Solution Source is a Web-based information system provided by Penn State Cooperative Extension. The system provides access to practical information on agriculture, lawn and garden care, and many other topics. The information provided is based upon university research.

 
Extension and Outreach Faculty

Extension faculty play an important role in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and provide leadership within the College, University, Commonwealth, and northeastern region in Sustainable Agriculture.

Faculty with adaptive research and extension education and outreach responsibilities conduct regionally and nationally recognized programs in field crops, grapes, mushrooms, ornamentals, potatoes, tree fruits, turf, and vegetables.
