Plant Protection Department has entomology, acarology, nematology, herbology, mycology, bacteriology and virology laboratories, two climatic chambers, two 6 sectioned controlled greenhouse and a seminar room.
Entomology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Biological activity tests of insecticides against pests
Biocidal products testing biological activity against pests
Probit analysis
The biocidal product analysis of the Ministry of Health are carried out.
Acarology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Mite diagnosis
Biopesticides are tested for biological activity against pests.
Nematology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Morphological, biochemical and molecular methods are used to assist in the diagnosis of nematodes.
Genital preparation, esterase, electrophoresis gel running can be done.
Herbology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory

Dose response
Detection of mutations in plants which are resistant to herbicides
Genetic diversity
Bioassay tests
Seed germination biology analysis
Diagnosis of the species by molecular and morphological methods.
Mycology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Isolation of disease-causing fungi in plants
Morphological diagnoses of pathogenic or other (endophytes, saprophytes, etc.) fungi
Pathogenicity tests for fungi
In vitro enzyme activity tests of fungi
Secondary metabolite (mycotoxin and phytotoxin) production tests
Molecular diagnostics applications in fungi.
Bacteriology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Isolation of plant pathogen bacteria and entomopathogenic bacteria
Biochemical, physiological, pathogenicity, molecular and phylogenetic analysis for the diagnosis of bacterial cultures
Studies are carried out on the effects of entomopathogenic bacteria and plant growth-promoting bacteria, which may be bioprotective agents.
Virology Laboratory
Analyzes made in the Laboratory
Diagnosis and Identification of Plant Viruses by ELISA Test
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Horizontal Electrophoresis Analysis
Determination of RNA and DNA Concentrations
Gene Cloning
Virus Inoculation and Biological Testing
