Historical Note

The Plant Disease and Insect Clinic at NC State University provides plant disease diagnostic and insect identification services to help the people of North Carolina grow healthy plants and crops. Homeowners, gardeners, landscape architects, and farmers may submit samples to the clinic for analysis. Specialists will then recommend ways to treat or prevent the problem.

The Plant Disease and Insect Clinic was established as the Plant Disease Clinic in the Department of Plant Pathology at NC State in 1951. With the addition of entomologists from the Department of Entomology in 1970, it became the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic. The Plant Disease and Insect Clinic is a member of the National Plant Diagnostic Network and the Southern Plant Diagnostic Network.
