PHRC: The Benefits• Common purpose facilitating communication and collaboration
• Combining resources
• Leveraging resources and collaborative efforts for future benefits
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
Internet Explorer
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
• Importance and Value of Agriculture• How a significant pest/pathogen could be
intentionally of unintentionally introduced• Potential losses• Amount spent annually to battle introduced
plant pathogens = $41 Billion !!• NPDN & How it works• What is a First Detector
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
• “High Risk” = a pest, insect or plant pathogen that has the potential to cause massive destruction to important U.S. crops.
• Implications = Soil & Land damage, Plant Health, Ag. Exports, Crop Damage, Animal Health, Economic Livelihoods in Ag., Human Health, US Product Reputation
• Select Agents and Select Agent List
• Pennsylvania Pests/Pathogens of concern list??
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
• Number of Plant Diseases Annually = 50,000
• 13,000 unique fungal pathogen species have been identified, as well as 75,000 plant-fungus combinations !!
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
• Good sample & Good information is VERY important
• I got this question wrong!
Looks like the form is in the bag with the sample and soil!!
First Detector Training: Online Modules• Mission of the NPDN• Monitoring for High Risk Pests• Diagnosing Plant Problems• Submitting Diagnostic Samples• Photography for Diagnosis• Disease and Pest Scenarios
• Submit up to 5 photos• Subject should be sharp and in focus• Subject should be large enough• Each photo should have a description

Submitting a sample to thePenn State Plant Disease Clinic• Submit samples from Pennsylvania for DISEASE diagnosis only
• We DO NOT accept• Samples from other states• Insect/arthropod pests on plants or in homes• Mold in homes• Plant/Weed identification• Mycotoxin identification• Chemical injury testing• Commercial turfgrass from golf courses or athletic fields
Penn State Plant Disease Clinic• The Clinic processes about 2,000 samples each year from across Pennsylvania
• Most of those samples arrive in June, July, and August
• June 1, 2013 – August 31, 2013 = 1063 Samples
Penn State Plant Disease Clinic• Importance of submitting a good sample and information
• New information to be posted in PSU Clinic Website
