Vegetable Crops
Vegetable crops suffer significant losses annually from viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases that develop under intensive production conditions. Early and accurate diagnostics of pathogens allows timely application of effective control measures and crop preservation. We offer diagnostics for tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, brassicas, onion, pepper, and eggplant.
Viruses
Viral diseases spread through insects and planting material. Timely diagnostics prevents mass crop infection.
Testing 51 vegetable crop viruses
1. TOMATOES:
1.1: Alfalfa mosaic disease — Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV)
1.2: Cucumber mosaic disease — Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)
Bacteria
Bacterial diseases cause wilting and death of vegetable plants. Identification of the pathogen is key to effective protection.
Testing 29 bacterial diseases of vegetable crops
1: Fruit rot — Acidovorax avenae
2: Bacterial wilt — Erwinia tracheiphila
3: Soft rot — Erwinia chrysanthem
Fungi
Fungal diseases are the primary cause of vegetable crop yield losses. Accurate diagnostics helps select optimal control measures.
Testing 80 fungal diseases of vegetable crops
1: Alternaria blight — Alternaria alternata
2: Alternaria blight — Alternaria solani
3: Alternaria blight — Alternaria cucumerina
