Detect
Spornado continuously captures airborne biological material in the field using a simple, scalable sampler and disposable cassette.
Airborne samplingSpornado combines airborne sampling, molecular detection and disease intelligence to help agriculture make earlier, more precise crop-protection decisions.
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.
Simple field hardware creates a molecular data stream that can support decisions from one field to an entire agricultural network.
Spornado continuously captures airborne biological material in the field using a simple, scalable sampler and disposable cassette.
Airborne samplingMolecular testing identifies specific pathogens at low levels, with the ability to test multiple disease targets from a single sample.
DNA-based detectionCombine pathogen presence with agronomic context, weather and risk models to support better-timed and more confident disease decisions.
Disease intelligenceFrom individual fields to enterprise crop-protection and sustainability programs, Spornado adds a direct biological signal to the decisions agriculture already makes.
Support field teams and customers with local pathogen intelligence across the acres they serve.
Crop protectionGenerate biological field data for trials, stewardship, resistance monitoring and commercial programs.
In the fieldKnow when pathogen pressure is developing and add evidence to scouting, timing and disease decisions.
DataAdd pathogen observations to models, dashboards and decision-support systems already used by agriculture.
Supply chainGenerate field-level data that supports more precise input use, crop resilience and sustainability programs.
R&DUse repeatable airborne pathogen detection in university, government, breeding and product-development research.
Spornado is designed to turn invisible airborne biology into an earlier field signal — helping teams watch risk develop instead of waiting for obvious symptoms.
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.
Read the field update →Spornado’s value comes from the network around the sampler: molecular specificity, deployment scale and an expanding layer of disease intelligence.
Identify pathogen DNA rather than relying only on visual classification.
Use one field sample to test for multiple disease targets.
Extend detection toward actionable information about resistance markers.
Combine biological observations with weather and agronomic data to improve risk interpretation.
Whether you manage acres, products, customers or an agronomy platform, we can help you explore where airborne pathogen data fits.
