New technology protects crops by testing the air for the DNA of plant diseases
7.8.2024: Plant infections can now be detected in our crops before they're even visible. By identifying the DNA in spores floating through the air, it's hoped a new technology called AirSeq can help farmers to tackle crop diseases more effectively while using fewer chemicals. Airborne DNA could be crucial to protecting our food security. In many cases, pesticides have little impact on stopping infections. Many diseases are only detected once plants start showing symptoms, at which point it's often too late to save them.
