Diagnostic Service

The Diagnostic Service can receive and examine plant material in order to provide a diagnosis with regard to crop health problems. The service has expertise in problems related to fungal and bacterial pathogens as well as nematodes. Through linkages with other organisations, we can also assist with problems related to viruses, phytoplasmas, and insects. The service is unique in its global operation and the range of crop diseases it can handle, and is well placed to diagnose and advise on problems of temperate and tropical crops in particular.

The Diagnostic Service team, using their extensive international experience and expertise, can also offer professional and practical advice on prevention and management of specific crop health problems based on interpretation and application of diagnostic results.

Plant Sap Analysis

Plant Sap Analysis provides more dynamic crop information than tissue testing alone, and it helps maximise your yields. Plant Sap Analysis is particularly beneficial to production and yields when analysed routinely, allowing farmers to make adjustments to amendments and additives.

During varying growth stages, crop nutrient demands can shift drastically. Analysing the sap of your crops will help facilitate accurate adjustments in crop nutrient amendments to correct imbalances and deficiencies. The adjustments help you maintain target yield goals and optimise amendment input costs.

At Novrise, when analysing the sap of a crop, whether it be blueberries, peanuts, rice, hemp, soya beans or any other crop, we take a closer look at the spectrum of nutrients that are active in the plant. We offer different kinds of analyses including individual sap analysis, translocative sap analysis, and comparison sap analysis.

Soil Testing

Our Soil Testing is unique as it combines microorganism identification and chemical composition analysis.

Microscopic pests in soil are responsible for an important part of yield loss worldwide each year. Nematodes are considered the most damaging pest of crops like potatoes. Other microorganisms can be just as damaging as they can parasitise nearly every plant species. Novrise provides an accurate identification service to understand the biology and host range of these plant-parasitic microorganisms in soil, and offers accordingly effective consultancy advice to our clients.

Soil chemical composition analysis aims to inventory soil’s nutrient reserves. Since imbalances in essential elements can limit crop yields, this information is vital to determine what, if any, additions of nutrients are justified to produce maximum economic yields. Our soil analysis provides the best way to ensure that nutrients are applied in both an economically and environmentally responsible manner.
