Diseases and Pests - Hints and Tips
Need help to identify a problem? Take a picture and sent it to: pestID@amalsugar.com
- Take 2-3 pictures of the field
- Take 2-3 pictures of the affected area in the field
- Take a representative sample (3-4 leaves, 2-3 roots) that accurately displays the symptoms
- Lay the sample on a neutral background (white, black, or gray work best)
- Take 2-3 pictures of each sample from different angles
- Avoid too much light to avoid overexposure and glare
- Use a ruler for leaf spots
- Cut open affected roots and take a picture of both the inside and the outside
The more detail you can capture, the better.
