Plant Quarantine Laboratory of China Agricultural University

(CAUPQL)
Plant Quarantine Laboratory of China Agricultural University (CAUPQL), which is now under the Department of Plant Protection and Quarantine, College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, has been developed from the end of 1980s. CAUPQL focuses on the high education and scientific research of alien pest management aiming at training graduate students and providing phytosanitary decision supports. CAUPQL is a team with collaboration and happiness basing on the culture of efficiency, preciseness and harmony.

Research of CAUPQL
CAUPQL pays high attention to scientific and technical issues of alien pests, especially the quarantine pests and potential quarantine pests to China. Alien pests forecasting and testing methods are studied with advanced techniques of computer and molecular biology. Seven research projects in CAUPQL are as follows, in which 3 for Pest Risk Analysis and Monitoring Alarm System, 4 for species identification, population origin and spread.

  • aided by National 973 Project, 2004-2008. 
  • Fruit-fly Monitoring and Fast Reaction Web-system, aided by AQSIQ, 2003-2008. 
  • Population origination and spread of Bactrocera cucurbitae (melon fruit flies), aided by National Natural Science Fund, 2008-2010. 
  • Stored Psocids identification and population analysis between Czech Republic and China, aided by the bilateral cooperation project, 2004-2008. 
  • Population origination and spread of Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit flies), aided by Education Ministry, 2005-2007. 
  • Wolbachia infection and reproductive action on fruit flies in China, aided by National Natural Science Fund, 2004-2006.
  • Suitability analysis of alien fruit insect pests in China, aided by National 11th Five-Year Project, 2006-2010.
