Root Applied Sciences’ Spore Traps vs. PMI

It is clear that using the PMI leads to the over-application of fungicides when disease pressure is low (i.e., the density of the pathogen is low).

Root’s technology allows growers to manage the disease more precisely, stretching spray intervals when there is no threat and focusing scouting and cultural practices in hot spots.

Unlike the PMI, Root's technology allows growers to monitor disease pressure and accurately assess when and where interventions are needed.
