Hygiene course for plant diseases in ornamental or vegetable cultivation

Even with your careful attention to plant diseases, they commonly affect multiple plants rather than staying isolated. Bacterial diseases, viruses, and viroids have no direct treatments — only rigorous hygiene protocols provide effective prevention.

We have delivered specialised hygiene training to commercial growers for over five years. During the course, you receive information regarding hygiene protocols and recent developments.

Normec conducts extensive research into hygiene in cultivation, growing and the food processing industry. This enables us to keep you informed of all the options available for keeping your crops disease-free and your business clean.

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.
