Early Detection, Better Protection

✓ Detect disease in your field long before you see it in your crops. 

The Spornado is a simple passive spore catcher priced to work within your fungicide budget. The sampler is placed in the field trapping airborne spores through wind currents on a specialized filter. These filters are then collected for molecular analysis for fungal pathogens that cause crop disease.

✓ 20/20 Seed Labs will test all of the samples and provide quick results.

Having this detection system in place, you can now monitor and gather the information to guide and help you narrow the timing gap for when fungicide spraying is critical.

We’re taking the guess work out of when to spray.

What is it?

The Spornado looks like a weather vane with a funnel in front. The device’s unique design allows it to turn into prevailing winds and collect airborne spores on specialized filters – contained in an easy-to-change cassette system.

The cassette is easily removable and can be shipped to 20/20 Seed Labs for rapid, accurate testing.

What can it detect?

Spornado testing currently focuses on Sclerotinia Stem Rot of canola (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and Fusarium Head Blight on cereals (Fusarium graminearum).

However, our service portfolio is constantly expanding. Call 20/20 Seed Labs to discuss your specific testing needs.

How do I use it?

The Spornado should be placed in an open area within a field of interest at least one week prior to canola flowering and one week after flowering. A cereal crop should be monitored with the Spornado from just after flag leaf emergence until the crop has finished flowering. Late June to early August is the optimal time to use the Spornado.

All information for assembly, installation, cassette changes and sample handling are provided with the purchase of a unit.
