Positive agitest virus strip.
Hello all,
I am quite sad as one of my plants has tested positive for a virus. It tested positive for CymMV. It is a Phal violecea that I got from a local and trustworthy grower. He imported it from a nursery in Taiwan.
I have attached a picture of the plant.
Could it be a false positive? I tested it twice and got the same result. Strangely, the CymMV line turned red immediately and slightly before the control line. That said, the control line is very clearly there. Would the fact that I also ran out of the bags and droppers that came with the kit so I am using my own (new in box) influence the results?
On my first test I used a 1cm square. On the 2nd test I used a .5cm sample.
