ABSTRACT

The goals of this project were to develop

1): the prototype hardware device for Phytophthora agathidicida in-field diagnostics

2): microfluidic chips with dried reagents for detecting phytophthora DNA

3): extractions of soil containing phytophthora DNA and

4): deliver a training workshop to demonstrate the prototype diagnostic tests.
