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.

Story

Biological controls offer new addition to farmers’ toolbox to better manage insect pests

Without pesticides the world could lose up to 50% of key food and fibre crops, devastating global supply. Through work undertaken by Dr Robert Mensah of NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), in collaboration with the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC), effective biological control options for insect pests in cotton have been demonstrated and they are now seeking partners to commercialise these innovative solutions.
