Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) - Rhizomania
Rhizomania is caused by infection of the plants by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV).
Brassica virus screening (3 virus screen)
Test to identify 3 viruses that can cause significant damage to brassica crops including oilseed rape.
Standard growing on test for virus in Potato (PVY)

Tomato root mat disease (Root-inducing plasmid) testing
A test for Tomato Root Mat Disease caused by Rhizobium rhizogenes, a gram-negative soil bacterium that contains root-inducing (Ri) plasmids which can lead to over-abundant growth of roots in tomatoes and cucumbers.
Crown Gall Disease (Tumor-Inducing Plasmid) Testing
A test for Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens), which is responsible for crown gall disease in plants. The bacterium enters the plant through wounds in roots or stems and stimulates disorganised tissue growth, producing swollen galls.
Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd)
Test to identify Chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd) within your plant sample. This viroid is known to cause stunting and premature flowering within some cultivars.
Pospiviroid screen
A PCR screen to identify the presence of a number of popsiviroids in symptomatic plants/leaves including Potato spindle tuber viroid, Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid, and Columnea latent viroid.
Strawberry red core (Phytophthora fragariae) in plants (Non-Symptomatic)
This test for Strawberry Red Core (Phytophthora fragariae) on non-symptomatic plants allows for the detection of low levels of the disease in propogation material.
Rhizomania soil bait test (Beet necrotic yellow vein virus - BNYVV)
Test for the presence of Rhizomania caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) within soil. BNYVV can cause severe damage if the infection spreads into the whole plant.
