General Information

Plants can be damaged by many living and non-living disease factors, starting from the seed period until harvesting.

Accurate and timely diagnosis of diseases, pests and weeds in crop production is very important in agricultural production.

The plant health diagnostic laboratory provides services for the diagnosis of diseases, pests and weeds that cause yield and quality losses in plant production by conducting investigations both in the laboratory and in the field.

Some points to be considered in the selection of plants to be brought to the laboratory for disease analysis are as follows:

1. It will be beneficial for the sample owner to contact the phytoclinic laboratory expert before the analysis application in order to make appropriate samples from the diseased plants to be examined.
2. Plant parts containing diseased and healthy plant tissues should be preferred when taking a plant sample. In other words, both diseased and healthy plant tissues should be together in the sample to be taken (Sampling should be made especially from plant parts and fresh tissues that are likely to have just started diseases).
3. Leaf, root, fruit or tuber samples taken from the plant suspected of being diseased should be in sufficient size and number to indicate the problem well.
4. Samples should be put in suitable bags: tubers should be put in paper bags, leaf and fruit tissues should be wrapped in paper towels and put in plastic bags and the roots should be placed in plastic bags after purifying of soil from roots.
5. If all samples are placed in the same bag, samples may contaminate. Therefore, different plant specimens should not be placed in the same bag (For example, when the roots and leaves are placed in the same bag, the mud or moisture in the roots may cause the leaf samples to contaminate).
6. Diseased plant samples sampled for analysis should be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible.
7. Samples should be labeled with the required relevant information (sample name, place of collection, date of sample collection, etc.)
