Phytopathology Laboratory
The main functions of the laboratory:
Areas of activity of the laboratory:
- Mycological and bacteriological examinations for the identification of plant pathogens (phytoexpertise)
- Conducting laboratory studies of quarantined material samples to determine their quarantine phytosanitary status (e.g., Erwinia amylovora)
- Improvement of seed material through the application of protective and stimulating compounds
- Determination of bactericidal properties of fungicides and biological products used in plant protection against agricultural crop diseases
- Organization and conduct of advanced training courses for specialists in plant protection and quarantine, focusing on pathogen identification and diagnostics
- Organization and conduct of individual internships in the phytosanitary field
- Preservation and replenishment of the laboratory collection of quarantine and non-quarantine organisms
- Conducting interlaboratory comparative tests
Services
- Diagnosis of diseases of agricultural crops using classical phytopathological methods, with the provision of practical recommendations for control measures
- Phytoexamination of seeds of various agricultural crops to determine sowing quality, including germination energy and germination rate
- Determination of the species composition of pathogenic and saprophytic microflora in seeds based on phytopathological analyses, with the application of molecular genetic methods when necessary
