<p>The present invention provides a method and kit for determining the presence or absence of plant pathogens in a soil sample. The method comprises concentrating a pathogen component from the sample, disrupting the components to release an antigen of the pathogen, contacting the disrupted sample with an antibody having specificity for the pathogen and observing the presence or absence of a reaction between the antigen and the antibody.</p> |
