In Vitro Culture Phytopathogen Cleaning Service
At Microplant, we offer a specialised service for cleaning phytopathogens from plant species, carried out using in vitro culture techniques. This service is essential for eliminating diseases and pathogens that can jeopardise plant health and therefore crop productivity. Our innovative approach aims to ensure that cultivated plants are free of phytopathogens, providing a healthy, infection-free base for crop development.
What is Phytopathogen Cleaning?
Benefits of Phytopathogen Cleaning
- Healthy, Disease-Free Plants – The main advantage of phytopathogen cleaning is that it guarantees that the treated plants are disease-free. This service is essential for crops of high commercial value, where the presence of pathogens can cause significant losses in production and quality.
- Improved Productivity – The elimination of phytopathogens promotes healthier plant development, resulting in greater vigour, resistance and productivity. The in vitro culture, being free of pathogens, tends to grow more efficiently, increasing the profitability of production.
How does the phytopathogen cleaning process work?
Plant Selection and Sample Collection – The first step is to select the plants that will undergo the cleaning process. The plant samples are carefully chosen to guarantee the quality of the genetic material. The plants selected are those with the greatest potential to benefit from the meristematic culture technique, which ensures a solid, disease-free genetic base.
In Vitro Culture – Plants are transferred to a controlled environment where they are grown in sterile media that favours growth without the presence of pathogens. During this process, specific treatments are applied to eliminate diseases. Meristematic culture plays a crucial role, as it allows pathogens to be removed by working with the youngest vegetative portions of the plant, which have less risk of contamination.
Multiplication and Acclimatisation – After being cleared of phytopathogens, the plants are multiplied in vitro until they reach a suitable size to be acclimatised and transferred to normal growing conditions. This process prepares the plants for planting or commercialisation, ensuring that they are healthy and vigorous when transferred to the outside environment.
Quality Guarantee – Our cleaning process is carried out to high standards of quality and precision. We carry out rigorous tests to ensure that the plants are free of phytopathogens before they are delivered to our customers. By using meristematic culture, we ensure that each plant is genetically healthy, without contamination or disease.
