Plant pathology studies plant diseases caused by biotic and abiotic factors, crucial for sustaining horticulture, forestry, and agriculture. We analyze host-pathogen-environment interactions, offering evidence-based solutions to enhance plant health while minimizing environmental impact. Using advanced molecular diagnostics such as PCR and DNA analysis, we enable early pathogen detection, species identification, and pest management support. Our experts specialize in detecting fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses, viroids, nematodes, Phytophthora, and Rhizoctonia. Services include seed health and nematode testing, disease diagnosis in crops, ornamentals, and turf, virus detection via ELISA and qPCR, pathogen identification in growing media and irrigation, postharvest rot analysis, and molecular diagnostics through DNA/RNA sequencing, PCR, and qPCR.
Plant diseases caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi continue to pose a significant threat, leading to 20%-40% of global food loss despite modern agricultural advancements. Early detection and accurate identification are crucial for effective prevention and treatment, helping to safeguard crops and improve yield.
