Uniquely Sensitive
The patented method of SwiftDetect gives it such sensitivity and speed, that it's able to test down to just a few pathogen cells of disease in your crop. Your results will provide you with actionable insight, so you can make more informed crop management decisions.
SwiftDetect can test for:
- Septoria in wheat
- Yellow Rust in wheat
- Brown Rust in wheat
- Mildew in wheat
- Ramularia in barley
Why use SwiftDetect
Your SwiftDetect results are an important tool to help with decision making. Here's what you can expect from using the test!
Gain an early warning
SwiftDetect is so sensitive, it will identify disease before visible signs emerge, so you can take action sooner.
Better targeting
Fungicide doses can be tailored according to disease levels rather than blanket sprayed. Also, spray timings can be based on disease levels rather than growth stage, improving effectiveness of treatment.
Save money and protect the environment!
SwiftDetect gave some of our customers last season the confidence to use less fungicide or even miss a spray, saving money and benefitting the environment.
Track disease levels over time
You can repeat SwiftDetect as little or as often as you'd like. Some of our customers tested throughout the season, so now have a deeper understanding of how their crop disease levels change over time.
Rapid turnaround
With a turnaround time of just 1 business day, SwiftDetect will provide you with insight into your disease levels, almost in real-time.
Hassle free
Since all you have to do is post a small sample of your leaves to us, SwiftDetect is hassle free.
