Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV)

About this product

Detect Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV) using our industry-leading assays. Our MFDetect™ technology, a high-throughput, low-cost solution for Cannabis and Hemp, combines two established technologies to accurately identify viruses like BCTV in Cannabis samples, with rapid turnarounds and cost-efficient prices.

Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV) is a highly contagious disease that can severely impact crop populations. Beet Curly Top Virus nearly destroyed Idaho’s sugar beet population before farmers bred immune cultivars in 1935. First discovered in 1907, the virus affects more than 300 different plant species, including Cannabis.

Our proprietary plant pathogen detection assay provides a high-throughput, low-cost solution for cannabis cultivators. MFDetect™ combines two established technologies to rapidly and accurately identify pathogenic viruses, like Beet Curly Top Virus.

With decades of expertise in genomics, plant biology, and breeding, we offer customized solutions to meet each client’s unique needs. We understand that no two operations are the same, which is why we provide industry-leading solutions tailored to optimize your crop production and cultivation management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to test your plants with us.

What is MF Detect™ Precision+?

MF Detect™ Precision+ is MyFloraDNA’s proprietary RT-qPCR (TaqMan-based) diagnostic technology designed for ultra-high sensitivity, reliability, and actionable pathogen detection.

What sensitivity does MF Detect™ Precision+ achieve?

MF Detect™ Precision+ can detect pathogen genetic material down to approximately 2 copies, enabling true early detection.

Why is ultra-high sensitivity important in plant diagnostics?

It allows detection of infections before visible symptoms appear, reducing pathogen spread, crop loss, and operational risk.

Is MF Detect™ qualitative or quantitative?

MF Detect™ is quantitative and reports CT values and, when applicable, estimated copy numbers.

What chemistry does MF Detect™ use?

MF Detect™ uses TaqMan RT-qPCR chemistry for high specificity and low background noise.

How fast are results delivered?

Typically within 1–3 business days from sample arrival.
