ABSTRACT:
Provided herein are systems and methods for diagnosing plant anomalies found at remote locations using video imaging. A diagnostic technician at a diagnostic station is capable of diagnosing a plant anomaly and recommending a course of action based upon images trasmitted from a remote workstation. The diagnostic technician has access to a database of images and/or descriptions of plant pathogens, lesions and other anomalies to assist in making a diagnosis. It is further preferred that field data relevant to the diseased plant sample is collected at the remote workstation and provided to the diagnostic technician for diagnostic purposes.
