Nematode Sample Submission Form- Diagnostic

•  Complete the diagnostic sample submission form, filling out all required information as denoted on the form.   
• Use permanent ink to fill out forms and label boxes.
• To get accurate assay results and recommendations, you must provide details of crop history.
• Give each sample a unique identifier (sample ID) made up of five letters and/or numbers that will help you remember which area the sample corresponds to ex:  GOOD, BAD, COT1, COT2, BEANS or LAWN. Write this ID in the designated spaces on both the sample box and on the submission form so these correspond as well.
• Plan to ship samples, along with submission form(s) and the appropriate processing fee, so they will arrive as soon as possible.

1. Do not tape the sample boxes. 
2. Package soil sample boxes tightly within a cardboard shipping container to lessen the potential of damage during shipping. Growers should never send soil nematode samples to the lab in padded mailing envelopes or boxes holding uneven layers of samples as the samples can shift, crumble, and get damaged.
3. Place the Nematode Sample Submission- Diagnostic form on the top of the nematode sample boxes before closing the shipper. 

 Add stuffing if you are sending less than what the shipper holds to avoid shifting of samples and damage during transit.
