🎬Latvian partners visit Poland — the power of collaboration

The programme included fieldwork and laboratory sessions at the experimental station in Wrócikowo and in the laboratories.

In the field, researchers looked for early signs of disease in fava bean crops. They exchanged observations and compared pest situations in Poland and Latvia.

In the lab, the Polish team showed how they use nanopore sequencing — a fast, portable DNA testing method that works even on samples collected straight from the field. It helps detect plant diseases before any visible symptoms appear.

The visit demonstrated how the skills and knowledge of international partners help develop better tools and improve our understanding of plant health.

Working together is not only about technology — it’s also about creating a shared approach to protecting crops across the Baltic Sea region.
