Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County provides a range of diagnostic services to help identify species of plants or arthropods (e.g. insects, arachnids, myriapods) soil pH and texture, and plant diseases/pests. 

With correct identification of a problem, a management plan will be recommended. Diagnosis takes place in the laboratory of the Monroe County office. Additional testing is available through outside laboratories.

Getting a Test Done:

Please take time to read the requirements on each sample type webpage for submitting samples BEFORE bringing to the office. 

All plant samples and insect samples are $20.00 for cash or check / $21.00 for credit card.

Soil samples are $15.00 for cash or check / $16.00 for credit card.
