Phytopathology tests

Phytopathology trials are essential to validate a variety’s resistance to a pathogen. Finding the right isolates, setting optimal environmental conditions, and developing the correct protocol along with a solid experimental design to achieve a reproducible trial and obtain robust conclusions is a long and demanding process that consumes a great deal of time and resources if you lack the specific expertise.

Nakama provides the knowledge you need to set up the most in-demand pathology trials in the shortest possible time. Likewise, we can also perform the trials ourselves.nbsp;

We can carry out seedling trials within just four weeks from sowing, or take the plants to the field to observe their performance under real farming conditions throughout the entire crop cycle. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Health protocols

Sanitary issues are the biggest bottleneck in crop production. For seed companies, such issues can have devastating consequences. The only way to defend against pests and diseases is to have proper sanitary protocols in place to prevent their introduction and minimize their impact once they occur. Understanding how a farm operates, its specific needs, as well as the different pathogens, their spread, and control measures, is key to developing an effective hygiene protocol and risk management plan.

Nakama offers our expertise in creating hygiene plans. Contact us and we can visit your facilities with no obligation. We provide guidance and help you implement a sanitary protocol tailored to your needs.

Process efficiency

As a company grows, so do its internal processes and protocols. These processes can become duplicated, create unnecessary steps, and contribute to increased bureaucracy. Process optimization is often not directly linked to any specific department or role, which can lead to a significant drop in efficiency and considerable financial losses.

If you’ve identified this problem in your company, Nakama can help you prioritize bottlenecks in your processes. Together, we will design a strategy to implement the necessary improvements and boost operational efficiency.

Diagnostics

Being able to diagnose a disease in time is crucial for making the right decisions and avoiding bigger problems. This requires extensive experience in the sector and knowing which techniques are most suitable to accurately identify the issue.

Do you have a routine diagnostic system in place to minimize the risk of infections in your crops? If not, your production is at risk, and we can help you implement it.

Nakama provides support in pathogen identification and in establishing the necessary routine protocols. Contact us for advice, no obligation.

Energy efficiency

Over time, infrastructures and facilities gradually lose energy efficiency. Similarly, new solutions continuously emerge that are more specific and efficient for our needs.

Nakama conducts energy audits to identify if your facilities have oversized equipment that consumes more than necessary, energy losses from old equipment, and opportunities to upgrade to newer, more efficient technology.

Digitalization

Modernizing and optimizing processes is necessary to remain competitive in the sector. When we digitalize data collection or resource management, we not only make processes more efficient, but also gather a large amount of data that allows us to perform analyses and make predictions for better decision-making.

Nakama conducts process audits to identify the best candidates for digitalization and manages the digital transition.

We can help you with digital phenotyping or organizing your trials using an application specialized in pathology work. Do not hesitate to request a demo.
