What's wrong with your plant?

Use the gardening Pest and Disease Identifier to diagnose the problem with your plants and find out how to treat them. The identifier provides both organic and chemical treatments as well as advice to help you prevent problems in the future.


How to use

The identifier will initially ask you to select the plant part affected by the problem and because many pests and diseases cause multiple effects on different plant parts, it will then ask you a series of questions relating to the whole plant and its growing conditions, before identifying the most likely cause of your problem.

This uses Flash and will launch in a pop-up window, you can find out more about using this at BBC Webwise. If you don't have Flash, or you don't want to download it, then you can read a non-interactive version here.

Determining what's damaging a plant is not an exact science, there are often several possible causes for a problem. If you're not sure about the diagnosis offered you can also ask the gardening community for their advice and opinions on the Garden Clinic message board.
