Ekoplan ApS introducerer nu en alternativ analysemetode til udsædsbårne sygdomme i vårbyg som Drechslera teres (Pyrenophora teres). 

Plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is often found attacking small plants, causing root rot, stem rot, and damping off of young and/or stressed plants in moist to wet soil. Stems often rot at the soil line and plants collapse and die. A fine webbing of fungal growth may be seen between the infected stems and nearby soil particles. Foliage may develop small dark brown, or black lesions that expand overtime to blight infected tissue. 

Among fungal diseases that attack tomato crop wilts and root rots are found to be the most important diseases. The root rot caused by Fusarium sp., Pythium sp. or Rhizoctonia solani can be very devastating and destructive diseases of tomato. However it can be difficult to see difference between symptoms caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium sp. and Fusarium sp. Symptoms for these pathogens can be wilting and a slow or rapid collapse of the plant. The roots can appear brown and water-soaked instead of white.
