Detection platforms for diagnostics plant pathogens

Healthy crops are essential for a safe, healthy, and sustainable agriculture and contribute to sufficient healthy food and to the quality of life. Major agricultural crops, however, are threatened by various plant pests and diseases. Reliable diagnostic assays enable timely detection, identification and/or monitoring of such pests and diseases. With the development of diagnostic assays and products we are contributing to a better inventory and preservation of plant health in arable farming, horticulture, and the cultivation of ornamentals.
