Soil and root samples are routinely examined in Nematology Lab for presence of plant parasitic nematodes and extension advice for integrated control is also provided. The cost of this service is annually determined. In the cases, where the identification of the nematode species is necessary to be done with application of molecular/biochemical methods, the sample is sent to a respective laboratory abroad and an additional cost is determined.
Information related on the methodology of sampling, packaging and shipment of sample, cost of analysis etc is provided from the laboratory through telephone communication Dr. E. Tzortzakaki
