Standard Test Pathogens

Pathogens for use with the standard tests and other alfalfa research are available from the University of Minnesota Mycological Culture Collection that can be searched at http://cultures.fungi.umn.edu. Requestors must have a valid permit from APHIS to receive pathogens (http://www.aphis.usda.gov). Contact Deborah Samac for information on strains and to arrange for shipment. Each shipment has a $100 fee for shipping and handling costs.
