Reduced Fungicide Use While Protecting Yield

The Challenge

Reducing Fungicide Without Sacrificing Yield

The focus was on reducing fungicide use while continuing to protect crop yield.

Our Approach

More Targeted Crop Protection

  1. Monitor Disease Pressure

    • Monitor airborne disease threats in the field

    • Build a clearer picture of disease risk

  2. Identify Viable Threats

    • Detect infection-capable spores

    • Separate real threats from background particles

  3. Inform Treatment Timing

    • Use disease insight to support spray decisions

    • Target crop protection more precisely

  4. Reduce Unnecessary Fungicide

    • Avoid applications where they are not needed

    • Continue protecting yield from disease

The Results

Lower fungicide use with added value

  • 1.65 L/ha of fungicide saved

  • £34/ha of additional yield protected

  • £82/ha in combined value

  • Reduced fungicide use while continuing to protect yield
