Plant Pathogen Detection Service

Plant pathogens refer to organisms that can cause invasive diseases in plants, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, etc. After the pathogen enters the plant, it can cause serious diseases to leaves, roots, stems, flowers, fruits, etc., and cause rust, rot, fusarium wilt, rice blast, gray mold, etc., and ultimately have a serious impact on plant growth and crop yield. Plant diseases cause significant economic losses to global agriculture, and early detection of diseases can reduce the economic losses caused by them.

An experienced researcher can determine the type of bacterial or fungal infection a plant is suffering from by visual assessment of plant symptoms. Although the diagnosis of plant diseases by visual assessment is quick and easy, the symptoms of early diseased plants are not obvious, so the diagnosis of plant diseases by visual assessment is not conducive to the early intervention of plant diseases. Early identification of plant pathogens is important to prevent further spread of plant diseases. Different strains and variants of plant pathogens exist, and molecular tests are sometimes required to distinguish pathogen species.
