Real-time Results
The Problem
Hidden plant pathogens in soil and seed contribute to billions of pounds in crop losses annually. Early diagnosis can identify plant threats to devise disease control strategies on time.
Current Methods
Current diagnostic methods take days to process, involve lab equipment and are costly, delaying decision-making for early intervention.
Our Solution
Our technology accelerates pathogen diagnosis with real-time, in-field detection – empowering you to make fast, smarter decisions to protect plant health, target treatments effectively, map disease risk and screen produce at harvest.
