Over 20,000 Clubroot Tests Completed to Date.

In 2007, 20/20 Seed Labs developed a proprietary clubroot testing method in conjunction with the University of Alberta and the Canola Council of Canada. This test uses a relatively large sample size (~1/2 cup), and is designed to detect clubroot at biologically and economically relevant thresholds, defined in scientific literature as 10^5 spores/gram of soil.

Over the past 14 years, our dedicated and experienced team has performed this qualitative test almost 20,000 times.

An alternative semi-quantitate test was developed in 2017 through our Lynx partnership. This test uses a different primer set and alternate extraction method that reaches the same sensitivity as our recommended test, and provides Detected, Trace Detected, or Not Detected results associated with estimated spore levels. Using a smaller sample size of 5 grams, this test can be completed within 3 business days of receipt.
