SOIL-HEALTH SCREENING
The SporSenZ sensor facilitates in-the-field soil-health mapping, providing locational information of the microbial community and disease pressures within a field. Soil-health analysis is key to improving agricultural productivity. We also offer screening for hydroponic systems, and for water irrigation.
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.
HOW IT WORKS
We provide you with the SporSenZ sensors to sample the microbial community, we then analyse your soil microbial community, 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 2-3 working days.
BESPOKE MICROBIAL IDENTIFICATION STUDIES
Disease monitoring
Our SporSenZ technology allows us to offer studies to understand disease pressures of particular crops, and across different seasons. The results can guide key decisions, such as, which crop protection product to use, and when to apply it. These studies are extremely beneficial to crop protection products manufactures, who are looking to enhance the efficiency of their products and to limit the appearance of resistant pests.

Disease identification
We also offer disease identification analysis from crops. If you have a particular disease problem, and you would like to know the primary pathogen causing the infection, then please get in touch today.
