Agrivalys 71 is a departmental analysis laboratory specialising in plant health for vines, banana plants, herbaceous plants and plants that are hosts for Xylella fastidiosa.
Agrivalys 71 supports wine-growers and official bodies in diagnosing and monitoring emerging diseases.
We partner with public and private services in screening for plant health problems, particularly concerning Xylella fastidiosa, Golden Flavescence of the vine, Grapevine Leafroll disease and Grapevine Fanleaf Virus.
Our laboratory carries out biological tests to support the agricultural sector during mandatory or voluntary health checks.
Our laboratory tests symptomatic and asymptomatic plants for possible viruses or bacteria.
The tests are carried out during the vegetative period between September and November looking for phytoplasma, particularly Golden Flavescence.
The tests are carried out during the vegetative period between January and October looking for BBrMV and CMV.
The tests are carried out during the vegetative period between May and October looking for Xylella fastidiosa.
We meet the needs of :
Our team supports wine-growers and nursery owners in screening for and monitoring plant pathologies, whether regulated or not. We advise our customers on diagnosis during mandatory controls or voluntary testing: taking samples, grouping samples and delivering them etc.
Our laboratory works with departmental and regional institutions in health monitoring, plant surveillance and action plans drawn up by the Regional Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Forests (DRAAF) or the Chamber of Agriculture.
For each test request the laboratory receives, the process is as follows :
Detecting viral antigens from samples of plant origin.
DNA polymerase amplification (specific region of a nucleic acid) to detect it and study it.
