Featured Test

Acidovorax avenae subsp citrulli - BFB, Fruit blotch on Cucurbits

Our standard method (NSHS approved) consists of growing 10,000 or more seedlings under ideal conditions for disease development. Seedlings are regularly inspected by trained technicians and suspect seedlings confirmed by isolation and PCR techniques. We have dedicated 7000 square feet of greenhouse space for this test. The test is completed in 21 days. Results are posted on the internet to give instant update to the customer. For those, who need a more quick turn around time, we also offer 12-day seedling-PCR test. Clients may choose to test by both methods. For example, 30K grow-out and 20K seedling PCR option is popular.
