Detections of plant diseases in Greece from 1981 to 1990
The laboratories of the Benaki Phytopathological Institute carry out identification of pathogens on plant samples sent by extension services, agricultural cooperatives, farmers or individuals, or collected by scientists. Diseases (including pathogens, nutrient deficiencies etc.) identified in 1981-1990 were listed. The EPPO Secretariat has extracted the following detailed records on several EPPO A2 quarantine pests. Note that these records may not necessarily reflect the present situation of these pests in Greece. Regions are indicated in bold followed, between brackets, by lower subdivisions (mostly municipalities and/or prefectures).
