Spornado places a compact air sampler in the field to detect airborne fungal pathogen DNA, giving growers lab-confirmed disease alerts before symptoms are visible and while fungicide timing still matters. More
New West Genetics has bred grain hemp into hybrids that use existing oilseed equipment, deliver regionally validated yield gains, and come with a buyer lined up before the seed is sold. More
Leaftech Ag’s handheld hyperspectral scanner reads a plant’s nutrient and water content in minutes instead of days, giving farmers and agronomists a faster, repeatable way to track crop response in real time. More
Prospect Growth is developing nanoparticle-based fertilizers, or “nanofertilizers,” designed to deliver nutrients into crops more efficiently, starting with a fix for iron deficiency chlorosis in soybeans. More
USDA’s Agricultural Research Service built BenchBot, a lower-cost, open-access robotic imaging platform, to close agriculture’s AI data gap. Dr. Steven Mirsky explains how it works and where it’s headed. More
