The lab was established as a plant diagnostic clinic in 1972 and was operated mostly by plant pathology faculty with Extension appointments until 2007.

Dear NPDN friends,
Ana Cristina Fulladolsa
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.
