Application Case study:

A Genie® II & Test was used in the field to test apple trees for Erwinia amylovora. The field trial was undertaken to confirm that the remaining parts of the trees were still healthy, showing no signs of infection and also to evaluate the suitability of Genie® II & Test Kit for use in the field.
