Plant Disease Diagnostics and Soil Testing Labs in California-1999
The following is a list of laboratories, which were/are active in plant- and soil-testing as of April 2000. I suggest you call the laboratory prior to submitting samples. Quite often samples must be taken, packaged and sent in a particular manner in order to obtain the best possible diagnosis. The laboratory can provide you with these instructions. Finally, no laboratory has been intentionally omitted from this list. However, it is hard to keep track of everyone.
