Test. Don’t guess.
9 PLANT VIRUSES. 1 FAST, EASY TEST.
“Hop Latent Viroid is perhaps the greatest threat to the legal Cannabis industry. It’s very difficult for growers to identify due to its latency and it spreads undetected within a grow, wiping out much of its commercial value.”

Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd)—a growing threat
Today, microbial threats wipe out as much as 30% of potential Cannabis and Hemp crop yield. Phytox from PathogenDx helps labs aid growers in testing, to then take fast action to remove infected plants before viruses spread and impact potency and growth. In as little as three hours, labs can identify the presence of nine viruses in a single test. This easy test enables you to deliver sizable value with efficiencies and cost-savings for your workflow.

Benefits reaching beyond Cannabis & Hemp
Legal Cannabis and Hemp production is a $10B industry in the U.S. However, viral threats could wipe out as much as 30% of the yield of every Cannabis grow and Hemp crop. Already, Hop Latent Viroid may account for an estimated $4 Billion in yield losses alone.
