## What is Plant Sample Submission?

This Sample Submission app allows farmers, gardeners, landscapers, arborists, agricultural specialists and others to submit digital photo samples to a university plant diagnostic lab for diagnosis or identification. 

Some labs may charge a sample submission fee. Please check the lab website for applicable fees.

### 5/5 — A must for every gardener!

*2019-03-09*

Excellent app, snap and send a pic of your garden or forage issue and email.  You’ll get a quick response from experts on what may be your gardening issue and how to resolve it.  I’m passing this on to all my Master Gardener friends!!

### 4/5 — Cool!

*2019-01-10*

Great plant diagnosis app! Some schools charge a fee for submitting a digital sample (i.e. Only residents of Montana can submit for free to Montana lab), but other schools will give you a detailed diagnostic of photos of the plant submitted (i.e. Oklahoma).  Be sure to use photos of the plant from your phone’s library. If you try to use the ‘take photo’ feature in the app, it crashes and you have to start the submission over.
