Perennia’s Plant Health Lab is here to help producers, using classical and molecular techniques for early plant disease detection. Our plant pathologists use visual identification, microscopy, PCR tests, bacterial streaming, culturing on selective media, DNA sequencing and more to identify fungal, bacterial, and viral species that cause disease.

Perennia’s team of commodity specialists supports our lab and, together, we provide growers with a holistic approach to managing plant diseases.
