Reorganization of crop research institutions in Norway
The EPPO Secretariat has recently been informed that the Norwegian Plant Protection Institute and the Norwegian State Agricultural Research Stations are now merged into one institution (from 1995-01-01), the Norwegian Crop Research Institute ('Planteforsk'). It will be a scientific institution for applied plant research and plant protection for agriculture and horticulture, and will be composed of 6 research centres with substations and 4 service/environmental centres, situated in various parts of the country.
The Centre for Plant Protection, located in Ås, will be responsible for all research activities related to plant protection:
