Established in 1946Six areas of research, research plans for 2026—2030 and field expeditions for phytosanitary monitoring in the regions of Ukraine.
Systematic monitoring of the phytosanitary status of agroecosystems using GPS, GIS and remote sensing. Predictive models for the distribution of major harmful organisms.
Environmentally safe microbial preparations and technologies for regulating entomophages. Biological methods of protection and integrated technologies.
Theoretical foundations for breeding crops resistant to harmful organisms. Molecular-genetic markers for studying resistance genes and wheat genetics.
Updated integrated plant-protection systems across Ukraine's soil and climatic zones, accounting for ecological consequences and biodiversity conservation.
Scientific support for the plant quarantine service: phytosanitary risk analysis, detection and diagnosis of adventive organisms, improvement of control measures.
Study of pest resistance to pesticides, monitoring of pesticide residues in agroecosystems and assessment of agroecotoxicological risks. Testing of plant-protection products.
Nine research laboratories cover all areas of phytosanitary science, alongside a department for intellectual property research and innovation marketing.
Departments →The testing laboratories hold valid DSTU EN ISO/IEC 17025:2019 accreditation. Certificate No. 202357 is valid until 6 November 2028.
Accreditation certificate →The entomological collection contains about 10,000 insect species. Collections of phytopathogenic fungi support diagnosis, resistance assessment and artificial infection backgrounds.
Collections →The Takhtaulove experimental farm in Poltava Region and two plant quarantine research stations in Odesa and Boyany, Chernivtsi Region.
