Innovation: Advanced Molecular and DNA Tests for Crop Threat Identification
20/20 Seed Labs has made significant strides in the field of crop threat identification by developing new tests using advanced molecular and DNA lab techniques. These innovative tests include many industry firsts, addressing various threats to crops in seed, soil, and plants, including Fusarium graminearum, clubroot, Aphanomyces, bacterial leaf streak, and soybean cyst nematode.
Collaboration between the 20/20 Seed Labs team, researchers, government agencies and growers is a crucial aspect of their innovation efforts. By closely working with these stakeholders, they ensure that the developed tests are accurate and meet the needs of growers. The team’s dedication to excellence and innovation in crop testing was recognized when they won a 2022 ASTech Award for Regional Innovation.
In addition to helping growers identify disease threats, the company also focuses on developing critical tests to protect resistance genetics and address issues such as herbicide-resistant weeds and varietal purity.
