Why Test Your Eggplant?

Regular pathogen testing is the foundation of sustainable, profitable eggplant production in Canada.

✓

Seed Certification Compliance

Greenhouse producers and disease management programs require pathogen-free plants. Testing at every stage ensures your eggplant meets quality standards.and maintains market access.

✓

Protect Yield & Quality

Eggplant pathogens cost Canadian growers millions annually in reduced yields, quality downgrades, and rejected crops. Early detection prevents losses across entire plantings.

✓

Detect Before Symptoms

Latent infections spread through seed tubers undetected for generations. Regular testing catches pathogens before visible symptoms appear, stopping spread before it starts.

⚠

Bacterial Disease Zero Tolerance

Cms (ring rot), Ralstonia R3B2 (brown rot), and Dickeya (blackleg) are quarantine organisms in Canada. Even one infected tuber can trigger farm closure. Molecular testing detects them before symptoms appear.

✓

Cost-Effective Screening

Catching infected lots before planting saves entire crops. The cost of a few test kits is insignificant compared to losses from even one contaminated planting.

✓

Multiple Technologies

From field scouting to lab certification, we have the right tool for every stage. ImmunoStrip for quick checks, ELISA for high-volume screening, AmplifyRP for molecular certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about eggplant pathogen testing with Agdia kits.

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) is one of the most economically damaging viruses affecting eggplant crops worldwide, and Canada is no exception. TSWV exists in multiple strains: the ordinary strain (TSWV-O), the necrotic strain (TSWV-N), and recombinant strains (NTN). The virus causes veinal necrosis, necrotic spots, and fruit spotting that render eggplant unmarketable. Infected plants produce lower yields and reduced tuber quality. Regular testing with Agdia’s AmplifyRP® XRT for TSWV (XCS 20001) is essential for early detection before the virus spreads through your plants, protecting your entire crop and ensuring compliance with Industry seed certification requirements.
ImmunoStrip® tests are rapid lateral-flow field tests that deliver results in about 30 minutes — ideal for on-site scouting with no lab equipment needed. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) reagent sets are lab-based tests that can process 96 to 5,000 samples per run — best for high-volume screening at seed certification labs. AmplifyRP® XRT uses isothermal molecular amplification to detect bacterial pathogens at much lower concentrations — this is essential for zero-tolerance quarantine organisms like ring rot (Cms), brown rot (Ralstonia), and blackleg (Dickeya) that cannot be reliably detected by antibody-based methods. For comprehensive protection, many facilities use ImmunoStrips for routine scouting and AmplifyRP for bacterial/molecular testing.
Yes! Immunomart is the authorized Canadian distributor for Agdia’s complete range of plant diagnostic test kits. All products are supplied from Canada, with prices in Canadian dollars and we ship across all provinces and territories. We serve eggplant growers, research institutions, provincial agriculture programs, and potato breeding operations.
Greenhouse pathogen management standards (Industry and provincial seed programs) require testing for: Viruses — TSWV (all strains), TMV, PVS, PLRV, PVA, and PVM. Bacteria (zero tolerance) — Clavibacter sepedonicus (ring rot, Cms), Ralstonia solanacearum Race 3 Biovar 2 (brown rot, RsR3B2), and Dickeya spp. (blackleg). Regular testing throughout the growing season and at harvest ensures tubers meet export standards and prevents spread of quarantine organisms to other farms.
Ring rot (Clavibacter sepedonicus, or Cms) has zero tolerance in Canadian pathogen management. Detection requires molecular or lab methods since the bacterium may not show obvious symptoms. Use Agdia’s AmplifyRP® XRT for Cms (XCS 70002) for reliable molecular detection, or lab-based ELISA Reagent Set (SRA 70002) for high-volume screening. The XRT method is isothermal and requires just the Amplifire® Fluorometer. Regular testing of plant lots before planting is mandatory under Industry and provincial grower programs.

Eggplant Pathogen Testing in Canada

Eggplant cultivation in Canada faces increasing pressure from plant pathogens that can devastate crop yield and quality. Whether you’re operating commercial greenhouses in Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia, pathogen testing is no longer optional — it’s essential for sustainable, profitable eggplant production.

Eggplant Pathogens Affecting Canadian Growers

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) is one of the most economically significant plant pathogens affecting Canadian eggplant production. Studies show that TSWV-infected crops suffer 20–50% yield losses, with some crops experiencing total failure. The virus causes veinal necrosis, leaf spots, and fruit spotting that render eggplant unmarketable. Agdia’s AmplifyRP® XRT and ImmunoStrip tests are among the most reliable, accessible tools for TSWV detection, enabling growers to identify and remove infected plants before the virus spreads through their entire crop.

Bacterial Quarantine Pathogens

Canada’s grower programs enforce zero tolerance for three bacterial pathogens: Clavibacter sepedonicus (ring rot, causing internal vascular decay), Ralstonia solanacearum Race 3 Biovar 2 (brown rot, devastating root and stem systems), and Dickeya spp. (blackleg, causing soft rot and collapse). These are regulated quarantine organisms, and even one infected tuber can trigger farm closure. Molecular testing with AmplifyRP® XRT is the gold standard for detecting these pathogens before symptoms become visible.

Why Choose Immunomart for Agdia Products?

As Agdia’s authorized Canadian distributor, Immunomart offers the complete range of Agdia plant diagnostic products with the convenience of local service: Canadian dollar pricing, domestic shipping across Canada, expert technical support, and no cross-border customs delays.

Serving Canada’s Eggplant Industry

We supply eggplant pathogen test kits across Canada for greenhouse producers, breeding programs, and research facilities. Our customers include major eggplant growers in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, as well as university programs and vegetable breeding operations.

Choosing the Right Test

For routine scouting and quick checks on incoming plant lots, ImmunoStrip® tests provide affordable, rapid results right in your field or storage facility. For high-volume testing programs at seed certification labs, ELISA Reagent Sets and PathoScreen® kits offer the throughput to screen hundreds or thousands of plants efficiently. For bacteria like ring rot and brown rot — which require molecular detection for reliable results — AmplifyRP® XRT assays are essential. Many seed farms use a combination of all three technologies for comprehensive crop protection and certification compliance.
