Why is diagnosis important?

    DNA technology

    Did you know that we use specialized DNA technology to identify your specific diseases and pests even better? What makes this method unique is its extremely high sensitivity. With DNA technology, we determine how many traces of a possible pathogen are present. This quantity says something about the infection pressure of a pathogen present. The results help you take very targeted effective treatment or control measures.

    How can Normec help you?

    Normec is, among other things, an expert in developing and performing residue analyses on various matrices. Think of plants, plant parts, soil, AGF products and water. We also have a team of experts and analysis methods for analyzing diseases and pests. By using an appropriate diagnostic approach, you can quickly and accurately gather information about the health of your crops, the presence of pathogens, pests or residues.

    Hygiene

    Hygiene plays a central role when it comes to food. From the grower to the products in the store. It is not only about growing healthy crops, but also about ensuring the safety of the food that eventually ends up on our plates. Ensuring hygiene practices during all stages of food production, processing, storage and distribution is essential to protect consumers from food-related illnesses and to meet strict food safety standards and regulations.
