Disclaimer

Seed health and phytosanitary testing by the NDSU Plant Diagnostic Lab is completely self-supportive. The Lab is intended as a service to the seed and grain industries in an effort to bring the latest testing technology to the growers.

The NDSU Plant Diagnostic Lab cannot be responsible for the accuracy or uniformity of samples. Those who submit samples should strive to provide representative samples. Since disease losses in the field are also determined by conducive environments and additional factors, a low disease rating or an organism that is not detected in a submitted sample is not a guarantee that losses will not occur.
