What is Hop Latent Viroid?

Hop Latent Viroid (HpLVd), a single-stranded, circular infectious RNA, runs rampant in the hemp and cannabis growing communities.

 

Why should I test for it?

While HpLVd  may be asymptomatic and does not kill a cannabis plant, it can cause the plant’s  to drop dramatically in efficacy. The virus can remain inactive within infected plants, making it nearly impossible to detect without testing.  Plants infected with HpLVd may have half the cannabinoid content of their healthy counterparts.

 

Why should I test with Green Leaf Lab?

The state-of-the art infrastructure and top-of-the-line testing equipment found at our analytical testing laboratories enables us to provide advanced HpLVd screening services to our customers, detecting even the most asymptomatic samples, and quickly alerting our customers if they have a HpLVd outbreak amongst their stock.
