There's a common thread running through new early warning tech on crop disease - it involves listening directly to the plants. This includes a soy plant that glows when sick and a USB stick that reads spores to detect bad health. New from Russell Nichols: https://t.co/ocdE2a4RZI

The newest methods of early disease detection for crops use the plants themselves to help recognize and diagnose problems — before it’s too late.
