It’s a no-brainer that people in agriculture — growers especially — need to be able to make decisions fast. Mother Nature waits for nobody, and anything that can give a grower a better idea of what they’re dealing with becomes a valuable tool in the toolbox.
A great example is the Spornado, which I will have the pleasure of working with again in 2019. An exciting new technology that we launched in 2018, the Spornado is a passive spore catcher, first successfully deployed by potato growers in Ontario to detect late blight spores.
