Agdia sells agricultural test kits, testing service, and reagents for growers to produce healthy, and profitable, crops. Its focus has been on assisting crop producers in their operations by identifying the presence of plant pathogens before they become serious problems in a crop. The tests and services that Agdia offer encompasses not only pathogen detection, but also diagnostics for insect identification and plant quality factors, all of which allow researchers, diagnosticians, propagators and producers to make more informed management decisions. Agdia has introduced a rapid on-site test for Cmm, the causal agent of bacterial canker in tomatoes. The Cmm ImmunoStrip is an effective means to screen symptomatic tomato plants for bacterial canker in the greenhouse or in the field. The Agdia tests for Cmm are simple to use and allows the grower to verify the health of incoming and outgoing plant shipments, complement scouting activities as a part of pest management programs and separate infected plants from healthy plants. Agdia is located in Elkhart, Ind.
