In April 2019, the JKI was officially designated as the National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for organisms harmful to plants by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). This function as NRL for Germany is associated with certain responsibilities and tasks, which are specified in the EU Regulation 2017/625 (EU, 2017). This also includes reference tests and the diagnosis of quarantine pests, respectively. The NRL represents a superordinate unit inside JKI. A total of 14 test laboratories from different JKI institutes, namely for Plant Protection in Field Crops and Grassland (A), for National and International Plant Health (AG), for Epidemiology and Pathogen Diagnostics (EP), Plant Protection in Horticulture and Forests (GF), and for Plant Protection in Fruit Crops and Viticulture (OW) are in charge to carry out a reference function in the diagnosis of (quarantine) pests in the pathogen groups of bacteria, fungi (including oomycetes), insects, nematodes, phytoplasma und viruses.
