Ground-breaking new technology being developed in the United States of America could potentially change the way Australian grain growers identify and respond to crop disease outbreaks.

Professor Jean Ristaino directs the Emerging Plant Disease cluster at North Carolina State University.  The cluster has created two smartphone-based sensors that interpret plant volatile organic compounds and DNA to identify disease in the paddock.

Jean presented at the 2020 GRDC Grains Research update event in Perth, Western Australia.
