Envirologix: Putting Science to the Test

QuickStix Kit for Botrytis in Ornamentals - AS 049 OR



Is Botrytis Wilting Your Profits?




You no longer have to guess whether a blemish on a flower or plant is Botrytis (gray mold) or something else! Now there’s a rapid diagnostic test to help you make quality decisions about floral crops (including cut flowers, potted plants and bedding plants). Improve crop quality, reduce shrinkage, and/or reduce labor and chemical costs associated with applying the wrong treatment to control a misdiagnosed disease.


As growers, you need to know quickly that symptoms are in fact Botrytis, so you can treat accordingly, both pre- and post-harvest. If you are a receiver of flowers and plants you need to make quick and objective quality decisions upon arrival.


Introducing QuickStix™ Kit for Botrytis, an effective tool for deciding whether it’s necessary to take preventive measures in the field, or to make rejection/prevention decisions upon receiving.


Easy-to-use QuickStix test strips develop a clear test line in minutes so you can make an informed decision quickly. Kits are packaged with 5 or 25 QuickStix strips, and include everything you need to run the tests.
