Services We Offer
Soil Sampling
Standard - These will tell you how to lime and fertilize your plants for good growth. Cost: $6.00
Pesticide/Chemicals - These are expensive ($50-$100 or more) and usually not necessary to diagnose a problem.
Nematode assays - These identify the presence, numbers and type of nematodes in the soil around the roots of the plant. Assays are free if we are troubleshooting or $25 for routine samples.
Water Sampling
UGA can test for many contaminants in water, but the client must know what they are looking for. There is no such thing as a sample to see if the water is "safe to drink."
Plant Insect and Disease Samples
At the agents' discretion, a sample can be sent to the diagnostic labs. The goal is to identify the problem so as to reach a solution.
Plant Identification
Plants are identified if necessary to solve a problem. We are not able to identify all plants to species or variety, but will help where we can to solve problems.
DDDI
Digital Diagnosis through Digital Imaging - Extension agents make digital images of problems and post them on the web. Specialists look at these and diagnose the problem.

Natural Disasters
Natural disasters generally happen suddenly, leaving humans little time to prepare for their arrival. In an effort to help the citizens of Georgia prepare for future natural disasters before they occur, the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has prepared the Natural Disasters website to share valuable, and possibly life-saving, information on droughts, winter storms, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters.
