ALS Scandinavia offers analyses for invasive plants. We can identify Japanese knotweed, Giant knotweed, Canada goldenrod, Giant hogweed and Lupin in soil samples using DNA technology.
When soil is transported, seeds and roots can follow and establish new shoots. Invasive species can displace native plants and reduce biodiversity. Seeds or root fragments can be difficult to detect if the plant is not visible above ground, but with DNA analysis we can detect small amounts of plant material.
