DISEASE IDENTIFICATION
There
are several excellent sites with
good photo illustrations of plants diseases.
http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/plant_index.cfm
This is a easy to use site with good photos for easy disease identification. To find what's
attacking your plant, click the first letter of the common name of
your plant, then click GO. From the drop-down list, select the common name of your plant with the list of the corresponding diseases. Under the disease
description are the
cause/causes of the problem, a description of the symptoms, cultural and biological control.
Very useful are the accompanying images of
many of the listed diseases.

If you do not find what you need,
this site also
has good images of diseases that I find very
helpful in identification.

Click on the part of the plant affected-flowers, leaves, roots/bulbs, stems or the whole plant.
