Jamieson Brothers are pleased to be the first to bring you this product online and at a great price.
No more is it blight or isn't it? this kit will answer the question in 3-5 minutes. Each kit is enough for taking 2 samples.
Blight Check will allow you to test for one of the most common and damaging fungal diseases affecting tomatoes and potatoes, Tomato blight and Late blight of potato (Phytophthora infestans).
The kit contains the following:2 x Phytophthora test, 2 x sample extraction bottle (containing extraction buffer and ball bearings), 2 x pipette, instructions and disease information card.
The simple extraction system makes using the Blight Check easy. A test takes less than 10 minutes to complete. A small sample from a plant with suspect symptoms is added to the extraction bottle and shaken for 30 seconds. Using the pipette, 2-3 drops of the extraction mixture is added to each of the tests. The test takes between 3-5 minutes to complete giving a simple yes or no answer.The kit contains the following:2 x Phytophthora test, 2 x sample extraction bottle (containing extraction buffer and ball bearings), 2 x pipette, instructions and disease information card.

Bad weather

The cold weather has really set in now.
It has never been above -2 today and we can't send potatoes out or receive them in when the weather is like this due to the fear of frost damage.
Thankfully all warehouses are fully insulated and can with stand the cold weather.
We have now finished our limited offer of selling individual potato tubers and instead we are offering packs of 5 seed potatoes instead.
Our biggest sellers at the moment are Beauty of Bute, Flourball, Doon Pearl, Arran Pilot, Desiree and Charlotte.
Many customers are now using their free 10% discount and purchasing varieties like Majestic, Maris Piper and Golden Wonder as they are great chippers.
