BCN

We also offer testing for Beet Cyst Nematodes (BCN) in soil.

This can be carried out in conjuction with PCN analysis, or as a stand-alone test.

BCN100

BCN analysis: 100g

Cysts extracted from 100g soil. Report includes: BCN per 100g & eggs per g Fresh soil sample required: 500g

BCN200

BCN analysis: 200g

Cysts extracted from 200g soil. Report includes: BCN per 100g & eggs per g Fresh soil sample required: 1kg

BCN400

BCN analysis: 400g

Cysts extracted from 400g soil. Report includes: BCN per 100g & eggs per g Fresh soil sample required: 1.5kg

BCN SP

BCN speciation

BCN share extremely similar features to other cyst types, specifically brassica cyst nematodes and are notoriously difficult to positively identify by microscopy alone. We therefore offer a BCN Speciation service, which confirms BCN cysts by DNA/PCR. This can be performed per sample, or per field (cysts amalgamated from all field samples.)

BCN P

BCN priority service

For a quick turnaround, add "P" to any BCN code for priority service. Surcharge applies.
