Actionable Biological Data

---

We utilize specialized qPCR technology—pioneered by our founder—to detect the presence of Erysiphe necator (Grape Powdery Mildew) DNA in your vineyard’s air.

• The Intelligence: We provide a highly sensitive measurement of airborne inoculum levels.
• The Application: This is a biological tool designed to help you understand the specific disease pressure on your site before symptoms are visible to the naked eye.

Access our private Spatial Awareness Map to see a broader view of mildew movement across the Willamette Valley.

• Informed Strategy: Observe regional trends to better understand the biological timing of spore releases.
• Data-Driven Farming: Use this bird’s-eye view to complement your on-site scouting and internal management protocols. 

When symptoms appear or a specific block is under suspicion, we use precision glove swab techniques to identify the presence of pathogen DNA directly from the canopy.

• Targeted Detection: This method captures physical samples of the pathogen from leaves, clusters, and shoots.
• Verification Tool: Use this to confirm the presence of powdery mildew in areas where visual scouting is inconclusive, allowing for a more informed management response.

Stop guessing if your chemistry is working. We provide molecular analysis to determine if the mildew population in your vineyard has developed resistance to specific fungicide classes (such as FRAC 11).

• The Biological Fact: We identify specific genetic markers that indicate a loss of sensitivity to common treatments.
• Strategic Advantage: This data is a critical tool for your decision-making process, helping you avoid the high cost of applying materials that may no longer be effective against your specific pathogen strain.
