Using the Pocket Diagnostic test

An essential tool in disease management

Pocket Diagnostic in-field test kits are designed to give growers, consultants and inspectors information about plant health where and when it is needed, in the glasshouse, field or supply chain. 

The kits contain everything needed for testing in the field and the unique ‘bottle and ball’ sample preparation method provides improved ease of use.  The speed and simplicity of the test means that no experience is necessary and immediate decisions can be made.
