As a Flemish research institute, ILVO attaches great importance to a clear and accessible communication.

Besides a number of informative flyers about the Diagnostic Centre for Plants, flyers on various plant pathogens were prepared as part of our research projects. These flyers contain pictures, practical tips and scientifically based explanations on how to recognize and deal with these pathogens.

You can download all our flyers below free of charge. They are intended for both professionals and interested citizens who want to inform themselves and contribute to a healthier environment.
