Description
Detect HLVd before it impacts your yields The Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) is one of the most concerning pathogens affecting cannabis cultivation. Often invisible during the early stages of growth, it can spread rapidly throughout a facility before any symptoms become apparent. The Segra HLVd Test Kit helps identify infected plants, including asymptomatic ones, through accurate and reliable RT-PCR analysis. Early detection allows growers to act quickly, helping limit the spread of HLVd and protect overall crop performance. Why test for HLVd? HLVd can lead to: - Reduced yields - Decreased plant vigor - Lower cannabinoid potential - Rapid spread through cuttings and contaminated tools - Significant losses when detected too late Routine RT-PCR testing is one of the most reliable ways to identify infected plants before the problem spreads throughout an entire cultivation facility.

Detect infected plants before symptoms appear HLVd can be present in a crop without showing any visible signs. RT-PCR testing helps identify infected plants early, reducing the risk of spreading the viroid throughout the cultivation environment. Have you noticed any of these symptoms?
- Stunted growth
- Reduced yields
- Decreased plant vigor
- Irregular plant development
- Inconsistent performance between crop batches
