Does anyone know where I can send a tissue sample to find out what my plants have so I can take care of it for next year. Second year that I have this problem,maybe cucumber mosaic.All the symptoms are this,leaves show mottled pattern of yellows and greens foliage distorted, plants stunted friut aborted or limited or warty.Is cucumber mosaic caused by bugs or soil pests? thanks Marty

Most viruses are transmitted by aphids in as little as 6 seconds so insect control measures are not an effective strategy.
First try a free lab such as would be found at the local agriculture experiment station.
Google got us to here:

Follow the links to "Plant Pathology".
Good luck.
