Virus Testing

Presence of plant pathogens - including fungi and oomycetes, bacteria and viruses - can cause a large range of symptoms. This may result in significant yield losses, thus causing major financial damage. Early detection enables targeted action, preventing major yield loss and financial damage.

By identifying the cause of the problem, targeted action can be taken, and thus substantial economic damage can be avoided. Based on visual assessment of the submitted crop material combined with careful evaluation of any information provided, the Plant Doctor identifies the necessary analyses for subsequent diagnosis of the sample.

Alternatively, testing on specific viruses can also be requested. A selection of testable viruses is presented here >

The European authorities have set strict guidelines for the import of plant material into the European Union. Eurofins Agro can only receive plant samples sent from outside the European Union if these are sent
in compliance with these guidelines. If not, delays will occur, or the authorities will destroy the samples. Take the necessary steps to deliver the samples correctly. You can find these steps here >
