The missing signal

Disease decisions are better when you know what is actually there.

Weather models and field scouting tell part of the story. Spornado adds a direct biological signal — airborne pathogen DNA — before disease is easy to see.

One connected system

Detect. Understand. Act.

Simple field hardware creates a molecular data stream that can support decisions from one field to an entire agricultural network.

01

Detect

Spornado continuously captures airborne biological material in the field using a simple, scalable sampler and disposable cassette.

Airborne sampling
02

Understand

Molecular testing identifies specific pathogens at low levels, with the ability to test multiple disease targets from a single sample.

DNA-based detection
03

Act

Combine pathogen presence with agronomic context, weather and risk models to support better-timed and more confident disease decisions.

Disease intelligence
Proof before symptoms

See disease pressure before the field tells the whole story.

Spornado is designed to turn invisible airborne biology into an earlier field signal — helping teams watch risk develop instead of waiting for obvious symptoms.

Ontario tar spot monitoring
3+ weeks earlier.

Airborne tar spot was detected more than three weeks before visible field symptoms, creating a longer window to monitor risk and make a more informed disease-management decision.

Technology advantage

More than a spore trap.

Spornado’s value comes from the network around the sampler: molecular specificity, deployment scale and an expanding layer of disease intelligence.

Molecular specificity

Identify pathogen DNA rather than relying only on visual classification.

Multi-pathogen testing

Use one field sample to test for multiple disease targets.

Fungicide resistance

Extend detection toward actionable information about resistance markers.

Predictive intelligence

Combine biological observations with weather and agronomic data to improve risk interpretation.

Put pathogen data into your crop protection program.

Whether you manage acres, products, customers or an agronomy platform, we can help you explore where airborne pathogen data fits.
