Diseases, pests, or physiological problems often play a role in abnormalities or stagnation in crop cultivation, or in problems during the storage of harvested products. Identifying the cause of a (disease) problem is often very important in order to prevent spread and limit economic damage. BQ Support has all the knowledge and expertise needed to carry out diagnostic research into pathogens (viruses, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, phytoplasma), physiological problems, and deficiency symptoms that can affect the abnormal growth and development of bulbous plants and perennials. This includes an archive with more than 30 years of information on diagnostic samples.

For a quick diagnosis, you can send diseased or abnormal plant material to the BQ Support diagnostic service. We will determine the cause of the problem for you. With this knowledge, you can take targeted action to limit damage to your product or prevent it in the future.

Quick 1st diagnosis

Your sample will be photographed upon receipt and examined visually and microscopically. If we can immediately determine the cause of the abnormality, you will quickly receive our expert diagnosis. If additional testing is required, we will carry this out after consulting with you.

Extended if needed

Depending on the sample, further investigation may be necessary to determine the presence of pathogens or a deficiency/excess of an element.

Anonymous and independent

Our laboratory research is always done anonymously and independently. Even if we use a specialized laboratory for a specific study.
