Agdia Now Offers Testing Services to Detect HLB (Citrus Greening) Using Novel DNA Amplification Platform
Citrus growers can now send samples to Agdia to test for Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, a causal agent of Citrus Greening disease.
Using our new AmplifyRP™ DNA amplification platform, we are able to quickly and reliably test leaf and psyllid samples for the presence of HLB. Testing for the americanus and africanus strains are also available upon request. Results are typically reported back within 24 to 48 hours.
