TUMI Genomics Partners With Growers to Find Solutions

The Result:

With guidance from the TUMI Genomics team, the cultivation team was confident in their results and developed a clean mother stock program complete with custom operating procedures. In 10 months, the nursery reduced the level of HLVd-infected plants from 30% to under 5% and saved over $80,000 that would have been spent on inaccurate testing and lost revenue.

The Result:

Now, the cultivation team advocates for continuous testing measures and eliminated only one or two more positives before recording a crop that is entirely HLVd-free eight months later. They consistently test and follow precautionary operations - with many custom SOPs throughout the facility.

The Result:

The TUMI Genomics team helped the cultivation team develop a pathogen mitigation plan using integrated pest management, irrigation, and regular pathogen testing. This pathogen mitigation plan, paired with regular testing and the team’s existing information systems has enabled the team to more closely monitor and recognize HLVd.
