Where can I get weeds, insects and diseases identified?
There are a couple of good websites that you can go to to help identify weeds. The ministry site is http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/weeds.htm, or go to http://www.weedsbc.ca/. If these do not give you the help you need, you can take or send the sample to the weed specialist in Abbotsford or weed technician in Kamloops for further identification. Click on the following URL for the addresses of the ministry offices in the province: http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/ministry/who.htm. Insects and disease problems need to be sent to the Diagnostic Lab in Abbotsford (where there is a fee for service).
