Description
PREVENT YIELD LOSS WITH TMV EARLY DETECTION.
Designed for both commercial and home cannabis growers, our Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) Detection Test provides a crucial advantage in protecting your crops from TMV, a pervasive and damaging pathogen.
This test allows you to detect TMV with confidence, even before signs are visible, protecting the health and yields of your cannabis crops.
Signs Your Plants May Be Infected with TMV:
- Mosaic Patterns on Leaves: Look for irregular and often colorful patterns, including mottling and distortion on the leaves.
- Stunted Growth: TMV can cause your plants to grow slowly and stay unusually small.
- Leaf Curling and Yellowing: Infected plants may show curling leaves that take on a yellow hue.
- Reduced Vigor: Overall plant vigor diminishes, affecting quality and quantity of yields.
Costs of Tobacco Mosaic Virus:
- Quality Deterioration: TMV compromises the bag appeal and quality of your final harvest, making product less marketable.
- Yield Reduction: Infected plants produce less biomass and fewer flowers, directly impacting the amount of return you see for your time and investment.
- Resource Drain: More resources are required to manage and contain outbreaks, as well as care for plants that must eventually be culled, increasing your cultivation costs.
Benefits of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Testing:
- Early Identification: Early detection through our TMV test allows for immediate action, potentially saving your entire crop from infection.
- Targeted Interventions: Knowing which plants are infected helps in applying targeted treatments that are more effective and less wasteful.
- No Surprises: Peace of mind is invaluable, especially with larger crops. By ensuring your plants are TMV-free, you donโt have to worry about the virus sneaking up on you as you head towards the finish line because youโve already lab-tested your plants.
