Test panel: Potato research
The potato research test panel is a modified version of the panel performed for our commercial Predicta Pt service.
Under the commercial service, tests have been assigned a 'disease risk' category or a 'population density' category. For tests with a disease risk, the relationship between disease occurring and pathogen DNA level has been established. This relationship has not been defined for tests reported with a population density category.
