WHO WE ARE

Who We Are

SporeSense is an agricultural technology company developing a new way to monitor airborne crop disease. Its biosensor technology detects viable, infection-capable spores, helping growers understand disease pressure before visible symptoms appear.

By focusing on viable spores rather than simply detecting what is present in the air, SporeSense gives growers more useful information to support crop protection decisions, reduce unnecessary fungicide use, and protect yield.

Earlier insight. Better decisions.

Our Mission

Driven by Earlier Detection

Our mission is to give growers earlier, more meaningful insight into crop disease. By detecting viable airborne disease threats before symptoms appear, SporeSense helps growers make better-informed decisions about when crop protection is needed.

The goal is simple: protect yield while reducing unnecessary fungicide applications and supporting more sustainable farming.
