Research Infrastructure Registry in Cyprus

Plant Protection Laboratory

GENERAL INFORMATION

Description and purpose of the Research Infrastructure
Analyzes samples received by the National Plant Protection Organization (Department of Agriculture) and the Forestry Department . The analyses aim in the detection of bacteria, viruses, phytoplasmata, insects, mites and nematodes of agricultural importance or classified as quarantine organisms. Additionally, as a National Reference Lab in the above mentioned categories, we participate in all European Reference Laboratory (EURL) activities such as workshops, proficiency tests and trainings.
