The novel SporSenZ sensor facilitates in-the-field soil and substrate health mapping, providing locational information of the microbial community and disease pressures within a field. Soil-health analysis is key to improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. We also offer screening for hydroponic systems, and for water irrigation. The SporeSenZ Screen i) samples from the field, ii) identifies only actively growing fungi that are present in high concentrations, and iii) can provide results faster and cheaper than alternatives.

An understanding of the microbial community (pathogenic and beneficial) can drive key agronomy decisions, such as: evidence based and tailored crop protection strategies; rotational decisions; harvest time/what fields to take to storage; testing the efficacy of crop protection products.

We provide you with the SporSenZ sensors to sample the microbial community in your growing system, we then analyse the microbial community present, and interpret the results for you. We condense your results with the important information about your soil-health, highlighting important disease risks.

1) After receiving the SporSenZ sensors, you simply insert the sensors into the sampling point of interest. The instructions leaflet will guide you step by step.

2) When the microorganisms have been detected, an alert will let you know when to send the sensors back to a FungiAlert laboratory.

3) Once received in our laboratory, our soil-health analysis experts will return your results within 2-5 working days.
