NPDN Lab Interview (Jan. 2020)
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.

} else {

}
}
