Performs:

measurement in the field of quality control and safety of plant products (biochemical analysis of vegetable and other agricultural products (cereals and legumes, potatoes) to determine the dry matter, vitamins, sugars, fiber, starch, pectin, proteins, nitrates, acidity; analysis; plant products for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and ash elements).
determination of agrochemical properties of soil (content of humus, mobile compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, magnesium and potassium ions in the soil solution, pH of water and salt extract, hydrolytic acidity, the amount of absorbed bases, etc.); consultations on sampling of soil, water and vegetable products.

Laboratory of agrochemistry and analytical measurements IOB NAAS, certified for measurements in the field of state metrological supervision in accordance with the field of certification conducts:

Laboratory of biotechnology, genetic resources and theoretical foundations of selection to provide farmers with quality planting material offers services for reproduction by clonal micropropagation in in vitro culture:

decorative,
berry
medicinal
vegetable crops
potatoes.

As our experience has shown, the material improved by methods of biotechnology is characterized by the increased force of growth, high productivity that provides fast payback of expenses for its acquisition. The technology of accelerated propagation is carried out in accordance with world standards of production of planting material of plants, under which we can guarantee the highest quality of planting material, high survival of plants and their increased yield. In contrast to traditional methods of seed and vegetative propagation, this method allows for 12-18 months to obtain from one source plant up to 10 thousand plants of completely identical plants, thus providing our customers with competitive advantages in the implementation of new promising varieties. Extremely important in practical terms, the advantage of clonal micropropagation is the ability to also rehabilitate plants from bacterial, fungal and even viral diseases, and the ability to carry out in vitro reproduction and rooting of plants that are difficult to propagate by traditional methods. The significant scientific and practical experience of biotechnologists, developed over more than 20 years, allows us to solve extremely complex problems of our clients.
