Given the enormous range of land over which Florida farms, forests, rangelands & agriculture related facilities are dispersed, it is critical that we have a similarly widespread capacity to detect, diagnose, and respond to intentional and accidental introductions of plant diseases, insects, and other pests. UF/IFAS has established the Florida Plant Diagnostic Network, a plant pest diagnostic and reporting system, which will help first detectors submit plant samples, images, and detailed crop information for pest diagnosis.
