The main objective of the institute is to protect Egyptian crops against different diseases caused by microorganisms (Fungi, Bacteria, Nematodes and Viruses), which cause great economic losses that adversely affect the national income. To achieve this objective, the institute is carrying out a number of research, extension and applied activities in the fields of survey, management and epidemics of plant diseases.
