Kit Description

Specific kit for the qualitative, rapid and specific detection of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (PSA) in plant samples of the Actinidia genus.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (PSA) is the causal agent of “bacterial canker” of species of the genus, the most harmful and serious disease of cultivated kiwifruit.

The detectable infection symptoms are varied and can lead to fruit wilting and, in some cases, plant death. Following the serious economic damage caused in some countries, the pathogen in question has been placed on the EPPO Alert List.

Furthermore, pursuant to Decision 2012/756/EU, on emergency measures to prevent the introduction and spread within the European Union of PSA, plants intended for planting, with the exception of seeds and live pollen of Actinidia spp., may be moved within the Union only if accompanied by a plant passport.
