Plant Pathogen Testing
We apply tailored molecular and microbial techniques to accurately and timely detect the presence of disease, delivering clear results you can act on with confidence. We are focused primarily on supporting South African agriculture, with laboratory services tailored to local growing conditions and disease pressures. We also welcome international clients for competitive high-quality testing services.
Available Testing Services
HLVd Testing
Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) detection for cannabis, hemp, hops, and other crops. PCR-based molecular testing identifies viroid infections before symptoms appear, preventing yield losses and quality degradation.
Phytophthora
Phytophthora species detection for root rot, crown rot, and stem rot diseases. Critical for avocado, citrus, tomato, pepper, and ornamental plant producers. Molecular diagnostics identify species-level infections.
Pythium
Pythium species testing for root rot and damping-off diseases in seedlings, vegetables, cannabis, and ornamentals. Essential for greenhouse operations and hydroponic systems.
Fusarium
Fusarium wilt, root rot, and crown rot testing for cannabis, tomato, banana, ornamentals, and field crops. Species-level identification helps target treatment strategies.
