Protected 10% More Yield in a High-Disease Season

The Challenge

High Disease Pressure

The 2023 trial took place during a high-disease season, when protecting the crop from disease was particularly important.

Our Approach

Using Disease Insight to Guide Crop Protection

  1. Monitor Disease Pressure

    • Track airborne disease threats in the field

    • Detect threats before visible symptoms appear

  2. Detect Viable Spores

    • Capture airborne spores

    • Identify spores capable of causing infection

  3. Assess Disease Risk

    • Focus on viable disease threats

    • Provide earlier insight into disease pressure

  4. Support Treatment Decisions

    • Use disease insight to inform spray timing

    • Apply crop protection when needed

The Results

Strong results in a high-disease season

  • 10% more yield protected

  • £164/ha in value delivered

  • Yield benefit achieved during high disease pressure

  • Demonstrated the value of better-informed crop protection decisions
