Description

Our Plant Pathogen DNA test is a multiplex assay that tests for the following 3 pathogens

Hop Latent Viroid

Hop latent viroid (HLVd) is a single-stranded, circular infectious RNA that completely depends on the metabolism of the host plant. As the name suggests, HLVd was first  identified in the hop plant, but it can also infect plants, which is a relative of hops.  In fact, some experts claim the effects of the disease are even more serious in plant, causing stunted plants with small, loose buds that have fewer trichomes. Once infected, plants can only be saved via a lengthy tissue culture process that will produce a new viroid-free plant.

Cultivators who use this preventive strategy can reduce their risk of suffering costly pathogen outbreaks and improve yield. Proper testing would include monthly tests of mother stock for propagation prior to making cuttings.
