Certify Your Cannabis and Hemp Seed Health with a Hop Latent Viroid-Free Seed Certification

Ensure the quality and harvest potential of your seeds with our Hop Latent Viroid-Free Seed Certification. Hop latent viroid poses a significant risk to at-scale cannabis cultivation, and can lead to stunted growth, reduced yields, and compromised plant health. Protect your cannabis seeds, plants, overall crop, and reputation by obtaining certification that your seed lot is free from this pathogen before it is planted.

Why Hop Latent Viroid Threatens Cultivators

Hop latent viroid is a highly contagious pathogen that has the potential to infect cannabis and hemp plants, thereby leading to a range of negative effects. From reduced yield and reduced secondary metabolite production, HLVd can wreak havoc on cannabis crops, and compromise both crop quality and profitability. By certifying your seeds as HLVd-free with LeafWorks, you can lower the risk of HLVd infection into your cultivation operation and safeguard your investment.

How It Works

Submitting your seed sample for HLVd testing with LeafWorks is easy. Follow our clear and easy instructions which adhere to the American Association of Seed Control Officials (AASCO) sampling protocols and rules. Once the samples are received from our end, we perform a highly accurate RT-qPCR DNA assay, the LeafWorks® Hop Latent Viroid ID Test, to detect the HLVd genome. If the test results are negative, we will provide certification for the entire seed lot, as well as a time stamp. This will give you peace of mind and a third party assurance of health.

How We Do This

Our ability to certify seed lots as HLVd-free is made possible through the application of a statistical framework that leverages the principles of probability and a vetted equation designed for estimating disease prevalence or demonstrating freedom from disease through epidemiological-based testing. By employing highly sensitive testing to robust sampling protocols and statistical analyses, we ensure the accuracy and reliability of our certification process. This service empowers seed sellers to prove the cleanliness of their seed lots and provides seed buyers with confidence before planting.

Why Certify Your Cannabis and Hemp Seeds?

Certifying your cannabis and hemp seeds as HLVd-free offers numerous benefits across both cannabis seed buyers and sellers. For cannabis and hemp seed sellers, certification provides a seal of approval, as well as a differentiator from your competitors. It demonstrates commitment to quality and reliability.

Details

Hop Latent Viroid is a highly problematic and pervasive plant pathogen found in cannabis plants that can reduce yields by up to 30%. It is transmitted not just on the external seed coat surface but also from within the seed itself. As a result of disappointing and ruined harvests -- as well as litigation from sick seeds -- anyone and everyone that has harvested, sold, or bought infected stock should take extra precautions to ensure seed and plant health. Third-party testing can therefore be highly effective in certifying a clean bill of health.

Features

LeafWorks’ HLVd-Free Seed Certification is an extensive DNA testing service that tests for the Hop Latent Viroid in a sample size of seeds by using a robust epidemiological-based statistical framework. This allows for an accurate infection claim regarding the larger seed lot.

With each purchase, a Certificate of Analysis is provided, with the Leafworks HLVd-Free Seal to demonstrate the lot has been tested.
