NPDN-MG-Training
The National Plant Diagnostic Network Training and Education Committee has created this page to provide an easily accessible source of information, presentation materials, and images related to the detection of exotic or newly introduced plant pests. Below, you will find links to fact sheets on the species of concern to the NPDN. Links in red are currently pending material. At the end of the fact sheet, you will find a gallery of images that are representative of these organisms and a link to download presentation materials that may be used to educate various groups such as master gardeners, garden clubs and homeowners about these pests.
