Plant Disease Testing
Protect Your Crops with Expert Disease Diagnosis and Management
Healthy crops are the backbone of your agricultural success, but multiple plant pathogenic organisms can pose a threat. These harmful pathogens—including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes—can cause a range of damaging symptoms such as blight, cankers, root rot, wilting, stunting, leaf curling, and more.
Because different pathogens can produce similar symptoms, accurate identification is essential for effective treatment. At CAD, our team of plant disease experts utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the exact cause of your crop health issues. With this precise insight, you can make informed management decisions, minimize crop loss, and ensure a healthy, productive harvest.
Protect your crops today with the trusted expertise of CAD — your partner in plant health and disease management.

Pollen Testing
Effective pollination is necessary to ensure high seed and fruit yield. To ensure the quality of your seeds and abundant yield, pollen viability tests should be performed. CAD offers both pollen viability and germination tests.
Foodborne Pathogen Testing
When food vegetables are not tested before going to market, you run the risk of contamination with bacteria like, E.coli, Salmonella and Listeria. These bacteria can cause severe diseases in humans, and pathogen outbreaks are often caused by these types of contaminated foods. Thus, testing for foodborne pathogens to prevent foodborne illness is essential. In CAD LLC, we test for these types of pathogens using specialized selective media and molecular methods, such as PCR and sequencing.
