For the time period between July 15, 2014 and October 15, 2014, the Southern Gardens Diagnostic Laboratory has run 5732 samples for a total of 9728 samples since April 1, 2014. Of the 5732 samples, 2861 were samples submitted as “grower” samples, 2411 were submitted as “research” samples and 460 were psyllid samples. Although submitted as grower samples, a significant portion of the “grower” samples were also research samples based on the submission data included with the samples. Thus, the trend in recent years towards a shift in the type of sample continues with the significant emphasis of the lab samples being geared towards private and publicly funded research.
