Phytopathology

Years of continuous and targeted research into a wide variety of plant-damaging microorganisms in our laboratory make us experts for all diagnostic questions concerning your crops. Learn more about diagnostics and species identification of the different species.

Open-field cultivation

In addition to major crops like wheat, corn, or rapeseed, we also offer testing for specialty crops such as cress.
From small symptomatic areas to composite samples of leaf or stem material, we can handle a wide range of tests. Benefit from our experience for optimized production.

Greenhouse cultivation

Cultivating ornamental plants or vegetables, medicinal and culinary herbs under glass presents a particular challenge, also with regard to the management of microorganisms.

Secure your process stages with the specific evidence provided by IDENTXX.

Our processing time is typically 10 working days. If you are in a particular hurry, we can shorten the analysis time to 1 day after receipt of the sample.

Areas of application

Molecular biological pathogen diagnostics detects pathogens long before disease symptoms appear in the crop. Take advantage of this in applications such as:

- Monitoring

By submitting and examining leaf samples, you gain valuable insights into your treatment successes and quality management throughout the season. Early identification of infection events is particularly important for successful production in greenhouse cultivation.
For larger field projects, sample documentation can also be used to collect and share additional information such as pre-crop information, treatment timing, and infestation assessment.

- Drug testing

Supplement your field or greenhouse product testing with accompanying molecular biological investigations and recognize the effect of your substances even before you evaluate them.

- Seed testing

Use our testing service, for example, as a quick pre-screening for your seed lots before you carry out further time-consuming and costly quality assurance measures such as grow-out tests.

- Variety testing

In field trials, mixed infections with various pathogens can naturally occur. The resulting damage patterns can be ambiguous and thus negatively impact the evaluation. Specific tests quickly provide greater certainty in your variety assessment
