• Clubroot infected site
  
• Allium White Rot infected site
  
• Fusarium oxysporum infected site
• Sclerotinia infected site
• Cavity spot infected site
  
• Containment facilities for work on plant viruses
• Assistance with experimental design and data analysis
• Molecular biology laboratories
• Range of glasshouses, polytunnels and tygan houses
