Project Details

Description

Control of pests and diseases in under glass horticulture needs to be optimized. The presence of pests and diseases on horticultural products is a threat with respect to decay, while presence of chemical control agents is also a cause for the unsafety of products. Monitoring of pests and diseases in an early phase enables the timely sound control, resulting in healthier products.

There is a need for fast, sensitive tests that can detect plant pathogens in different environments in the greenhouse. Present tests are time consuming and do not always give conclusive results. Within this project tests will be developed that enable fast, sensitive detection of bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, insects in water, air, plant, growing substrate, etc. Detection platforms that will be used are a microsieve and the Luminex detection system
