Disease Detection in Ginger Rhizomes
Whilst the ginger industry generates $32 million gross volume for fresh ginger and $50 million in semi - processed ginger, disease is significantly impacting yield and reducing labour inputs.
Fusarium yellow rot is the most common disease with 30-80% losses on some ginger patches occurring.
Zondii aims to address this problem by using multispectral technology with a database model to instantly detect Fusarium in ginger rhizomes prior to planting, via a smartphone.
