Over-view of the 2001 Alabama Plant Diseases as Seen at the Auburn and Birmingham Plant Diagnostic Labs

The Plant Diagnostic Lab at Auburn University receives plant problem/disease samples for diagnosis and soil samples for nematode analysis from all sections of the state. The Plant Diagnostic Lab at Birmingham receives predominantly horticultural samples for disease/problem diagnosis from Jefferson County and adjoining counties. Records from both labs are often used to document plant disease occurrences in Alabama. The following summaries were prepared from records of the ACES Plant Diagnostic Labs at Auburn and Birmingham with supplement field and survey information from Extension Plant Pathologists and other Extension Specialists.
