Samples for Phytosanitary Certification |
Tests required for Phytosanitary certification must be from an official sample. Official samples must be drawn by a certified state or federal inspector. To obtain an official sample, contact the Plant Industry Division Phyto Line to schedule an appointment with a state inspector. Sample sizes vary by test. Please see the Available Services page for correct sizes. Unless agreed upon prior to shipping, all samples should be untreated. |
Samples for Unofficial Information Only |
Unofficial submitted samples are not eligible for Phytosanitary Certificate purposes. Samples pulled by the submitter, and not by an official, should be representative of the lot to be tested. Appropriate sample sizes are listed on the Available Services page or can be negotiated with the lab directly. Unless agreed upon prior to shipping, all samples should be untreated. |
Shipping |
Place untreated samples in doubled paper bags or a seed envelope and seal. Mark the identity of the sample on the outside of the bag. Identification should include the host, pathogen test requested, variety, lot number, weight and origin of the lot. Customers may utilize the Plant Pathology Sample Submission Form. |
Shipping Address |
Ship or hand deliver to: ISDA Plant Pathology Lab *Please notify the lab prior to shipping (208) 332-8640* |
Rush Orders |
Depending on workload, we may have a couple slots open a week that could be used for RUSH service when needed. It is important to note that this moves the sample(s) up in PROCESSING ONLY. A rush order will not change the length of the test.
