Outdoor cultivation

In addition to the major crops such as wheat, corn or rapeseed, we also offer analytical services for special crops such as cress.
Anything is possible, from testing small symptomatic spots to bulk samples of leaves or stem material. Rely on our experience for an optimized production.

Greenhouse cultivation

Greenhouse cultivation of ornamental plants or vegetables, medicinal and aromatic herbs is a particular challenge, especially regarding the management of microorganisms.

Processing time is usually 10 working days. If you are in a hurry, we can shorten the analysis times to 1 day after sample receipt.

Field of use

Molecular-biological pathogen diagnostics recognizes pathogens long before symptoms of a disease appear on the crop. Use this advantage in the following applications:

- Monitoring

By getting your leaf samples tested, you will receive valuable insights into the success of your treatment or your quality management during the season. Early identification of infection events is particularly important for successful production in greenhouse cultivation. In the case of larger field projects, additional information such as preculture, treatment times or infestation assessment can be recorded and passed on to you with the help of sample accompanying documents.

- Active substance testing

Supplement your agent test in the field or greenhouse with accompanying molecular biological tests and recognize the effect of your substances even before you assess them.

- Seed testing

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

- Variety testing

Mixed infections with various pathogens can naturally occur in field trials. The resulting damage patterns can be ambiguous and thus have a negative impact on the assessment. With specific diagnostics, you create more security in your variety assessment in a short time.
