Consultancy with PhytoGuard™
Phytophthora poses a significant but often overlooked risk to all restoration, greening initiatives and urban forestry, quietly spreading through contaminated plants, soil, water, and nursery materials. Left undetected, this pathogen can infiltrate nurseries and be distributed into urban and natural environments, leading to lasting biodiversity loss. Early identification is crucial to safeguarding your projects, minimising long-term expenses, and preventing the introduction of harmful pathogens with your plant stock.
