Peracto provides a rapid diagnostic service for identification or confirmation of the cause of decline in plant health so that the appropriate measures can be taken.

A good network with other specialist diagnostic service providers for taxonomic, molecular, and biochemical testing allows us to refer specimens to the appropriate specialist for more elaborate testing when required.

Predictive soil testing for potential nematode problems is also available. This test extracts nematodes from soil samples to determine the types of important plant parasitic nematodes and their population.
