Access to the services of CESAVESIN is available through the Local Plant Health Boards, which serve as the direct liaison to CESAVESIN and manage the enrollment to its programs. Only basic information is required, such as personal data and production unit details (crop, hectares, location), which allows integration into the registry and technical monitoring.
