Benefits of spore capture
- Early Disease Detection Spore trapping makes it possible to identify pathogens as soon as they appear in the environment, before symptoms become visible on plants.
- Targeted and Optimized Interventions By knowing exactly which pathogen is present, it becomes possible to choose the most appropriate fungicide, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the intervention while limiting losses.
- Reduced Production Costs By applying treatments only when necessary, you lower expenses related to crop protection products, labor, and machinery.
- Reduced Fungicide Use and Environmental Impact Fewer treatments mean less chemical pressure on the environment and a contribution to more sustainable agricultural practices.
- Improved Yields By limiting losses caused by diseases, spore trapping contributes to both the quality and quantity of harvests.
- Support for Agronomic Decision-Making When combined with weather data and crop development stages, spore trapping becomes a strategic tool for crop protection management. Base your decisions on concrete data rather than on the calendar or intuition.
- Resistance Prevention By treating only when necessary and with the right product, selection pressure on pathogens is reduced, slowing the emergence of resistance and prolonging the effectiveness of fungicides.
- Reduced Stress and Uncertainty for Growers Clear data = greater control over crop health risks.
- Enhanced Value of Your Production By demonstrating the use of advanced monitoring tools, you strengthen your image with customers, processors, or distributors.
- Regional Alerts and “Herd Immunity” Effect By detecting the first appearance of spores and rapidly sharing the information, producers can react in time, limiting disease spread and helping protect an entire agricultural region.
