Leaf Spot Panel

The Leaf Spot Pathogen Panel™ is a multiplex molecular diagnostic assay developed to investigate infectious causes of leaf spotting, blotches, expanding lesions, and dead tissue formation that cannot be attributed to physical damage or environmental stress alone. These symptoms often signal active infection and can progress rapidly if not accurately identified.

This panel simultaneously detects:

• Botrytis cinerea, a fungal pathogen capable of initiating leaf lesions and spreading quickly under favorable humidity and airflow conditions.
• Fusarium solani, which may contribute to localized necrosis, tissue collapse, and progressive foliar damage.
• Pythium myriotylum, a root-associated pathogen that can indirectly cause foliar symptoms through systemic stress and impaired water uptake.

Using sensitive and specific qPCR technology, this panel provides reliable detection from a single sample with quick turnaround times. The Leaf Spot Pathogen Panel™ supports early differentiation between infectious and non-infectious causes of foliar damage, enabling timely and targeted management before lesions escalate.
