I am unsure about the 'valt te verlagen' bit.
The full text is 'field test indicates: resistance..."
The context is an article about how to reduce the resistance of bacteria in chickens to agents used to control them.
Clarification of what this phrase means would be great. Thanks

resistance can be reduced
"verlagen" in de zin van verminderen - niet in de zin van een hoogtebepaling.
"Field tests show that resistance can be reduced."
"Vallen" has different meanings: fall, open to a possibility (valt te bezien), having a bad effect (valt slecht), beam (het licht valt door een opening), drop (leave out, abandon)
