About
A phytopathology laboratory offers farmers disease identification service and guidance, free of charge, in collaboration with all the phytopathology laboratories in Fanar and Tal Ammara. In addition, this lab organizes and participates in surveys and experiments related mainly to soil borne diseases like Verticillium spp. and Rosellinia spp.. One of the experiments focuses on finding an integrated pest management strategy for the control of Verticillium wilt in potato in an experimental plot that has been reserved for this purpose since two years.
