The Department of Plant Protection UGM has a strong advantage in the combination of pest and disease facilities with specialized laboratory facilities. The three laboratories developed are as follows:
1. Laboratory of Pest Science
|
Dr. Ir. Arman Wijonarko, M.Sc. |
This laboratory consists of the Room of Basic Entomology/Pest Invertebrate, the Room of Applied Entomology/Pest Vertebrate, and the Room of Nematology. It is dedicated to studying pest organisms, both vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as nematodes. The goal of this laboratory is to develop a thorough understanding of the behavior, ecology, and life cycles of these organisms and to predict their roles and impacts in both agricultural and natural ecosystems.

2. Laboratory of Plant Diseases
|
Head of Laboratory Dr. Suryanti, S.P., M.P. |
This laboratory comprises three specialized rooms: the Room of Mycology, the Room of Bacteriology, and the Room of Virology. The primary focus of this facility is the identification and analysis of organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses that play vital roles in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. The research conducted here supports efforts to understand how these microorganisms contribute to ecological processes, crop health, and disease dynamics.

3. Laboratory of Pest Control
|
Head of Laboratory Prof. Dr. Ir. Achmadi Priyatmojo, M.Sc. |
This laboratory features three key areas: the Room of Clinical Plant Disease, the Room of Biological Control, and the Room of Toxicology. It focuses on the interactions between plant pests and diseases, including strategies for managing them. The research in this facility is aimed at understanding the dynamics of these interactions and developing effective pest management solutions through biological control and toxicological studies, supporting sustainable agricultural practices and ecosystem health.
