Pest Identification
If you find a pest or plant damage that you are unsure of, there are resources to help you:
- Send clear images at different angles of the specimen to UPPDL@usu.edu for identification.
- Send the physical specimen to the Utah Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab (submission form, which is available online). Fees start at $10 and includes identification and management options.
- Contact your local county extension agent.
- Visit USU Extension Integrated Pest Management to access image galleries, fact sheets, or to subscribe to the seasonal Vegetable Pest Advisory.
