Bioassay & Herbicide

ICIA offers quantitative bioassay testing for herbicide resistance traits of various crops, including Dicamba resistance found in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend™ soybeans and 2, 4-D resistance found in Enlist™ brand corn products

We offer a number of tests which include:

• Glyphosate resistant corn: this test determines the percentage of glyphosate (Roundup^®) tolerant seeds in a 400 seed corn sample
   
• Glufosinate resistant corn: this test will determine the percentage of glufosinate-ammonium (Liberty®) tolerant seeds in a 400 seed corn sample

• 2, 4-D resistant corn: this test will determine the percentage of 2, 4-D (Enlist Duo^®) tolerant seeds in a 400 seed corn sample

• IMI corn: this bioassay determines the percentage of imidazolinone (Pursuit®) tolerant seeds in a 400 seed corn sample

• Glyphosate resistant soybeans: this bioassay determines the percentage of glyphosate (Roundup^®) tolerant soybean seeds in a 200 seed sample

• Dicamba resistant soybeans: this test determines the percentage of dicamba (XtendiMax^®) tolerant soybean seeds in a 200 seed sample
   
• Glufosinate resistant soybeans: this test will determine the percentage of glufosinate-ammonium (Liberty^®) tolerant seeds in a 200 seed soybean sample
   
• STS soybeans: this determines the percentage of sulfonylurea (Synchrony^®) tolerant soybean seeds in a 200 seed sample

Herbicide resistance traits are continually being developed by industry technology providers - ICIA stays at the forefront of these as they are introduced to ensure lab approval and readiness to perform the tests when they are needed.
