The BioScout sensor conducts 24/7 automated air sampling in conjunction with tracking comprehensive environmental/weather data. Analysed in real-time, through accurate disease identification and machine learning, this information is provided via a client dashboard and alerts, which allows them to respond accordingly based on their unique disease thresholds. Ultimately, taking the guessing game out of airborne disease management and allowing customers to reduce spray costs, optimise spray timings to increase yields and see the impact of spray logs in real-time.
