Turn around time is around 2 to 3 weeks. Remember just like soil sampling, the results from these tests are only going to be as reliable as the sample sent to the lab. Results are obtained from of a 200 to 400 seed petrie plate assay, so taking a representative sample is critical. The results from either lab will be e-mailed, faxed or phoned to the client. An official report of analysis is also mailed to the client.
All results are confidential.
These locations have agreed to package and courier samples to the lab as a complimentary service. Samples should be shipped to 450 Melville Street, Saskatoon SK, S7J 4M2. Even if planting seed is treated with other fungicides, it should be treated with DCT as no other fungicide contains the thiophanate-methyl component that provides the anthracnose control. Control with DCT will be dependent on thorough seed coverage on lightly to moderately infected bean seed. The pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum can survive on infected bean residue to produce an infection the following spring.
