Establishment of an NCDA&CS Cooperative Research Project Agreement (CRPA) is required prior to submission of research samples and must be included with each submission batch. The research agreement must be signed by the appropriate NCDA&CS Agronomic Services Division lab director to be considered valid. Please contact Dr. Kristin Hicks at Kristin.Hicks@ncagr.gov to set up a CRPA for plant tissue samples.  

Plant samples must be dried and ground prior to submission according to NCDA&CS protocol.
