BioScout

BioScout is an Ag-Tech startup providing near real-time disease surveillance for agriculture. It all started when our CEO, Lewis Collins, was tasked with running a traditional spore trap to detect cereal rust spores. He quickly realised that the data coming in from these traps was too slow to be of practical useful to everyday growers. He set out to automate the process, and BioScout was born.

Tree genomics program sequences 300 macadamia varieties to improve productivity and profitability for growers

The National Tree Genomics program is in the final stages of sequencing over 300 macadamia wild and cultivated varieties.

 

The national program harnesses cutting-edge genetic technologies for the benefit of Australian horticultural tree crop industries. New tools are currently being developed that will equip Australian plant breeders to deliver new varieties with key productivity and profitability traits. New tools will also stem from this program for growers to enhance farm productivity.
