Full-Service Field Research

Supporting our customers needs related to plant pathogen management, CSP Labs’ Field Research Department focuses on disease resistance and custom research solutions. Using environmentally controlled growth chambers, our team can replicate diverse climatic and pathogen-specific conditions to perform precise, repeatable studies on crop responses. This controlled environment ensures consistent evaluation of disease progression and resistance traits while removing the variability of open-field trials.

To strengthen our resistance screening services, we collaborate closely with the Center for Plant Pathogen Screening and Innovation (CPPSI), integrating the latest scientific advancements and standardized testing methodologies. Working directly with each client, the department designs tailored research protocols that address specific challenges, deliver dependable data, and provide actionable insights to support the development of robust, disease-resistant crop varieties.

Collaborative Scientific Approach

CSP Labs collaborates with the California Plant and Soil Science Institute (CPPSI) at UC Davis to integrate standardized methodologies and scientific expertise into rigorous, research-aligned screening protocols.
