Potato virus Y rapid test (PVY) – Box of 4

The Pocket Diagnostic^® Potato virus Y rapid test is a quick in-field test designed to detect the potato virus Y in a wide range of plant material, including woody tissues, leaves, roots and soft material.

Our Potato virus Y rapid test kit will detect both potato virus Y^O (common strain) and potato virus Y^N (necrotic strain).

Potato virus Y (potyvirus) is commonly found in potato crops. Symptoms vary widely between virus strain and potato variety. Most common symptoms seen in the field will be due to secondary (tuber-borne) infection and include stunting, leaf mottling, crinkling, yellowing and necrosis. Primary (current season) infection usually has mild symptoms or none at all. PVY can also infect pepper/chilli (Capsicum spp), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

Be aware that PVY features on the UK Plant Health Risk Register.
