About our Potato virus Y rapid test
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 and roots.
Our PVY rapid test kit will detect both potato virus YO (common strain) and potato virus YN (necrotic strain).
The test utilises lateral flow technology to easily and reliably detect PVY in a matter of minutes: the speed of results, therefore, allows for faster decision making in the event of a positive test result. This is why government inspectors, advisers, growers and plant disease experts all over the world are using the Pocket Diagnostic® Potato virus Y rapid test during their routine plant disease management activities.
The benefits of using the Pocket Diagnostic® PVY rapid test include:
- – Rapid results, less than 10 minutes
- – Portable, in-field use
- – Simple user process

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.
