InnerPlant Launches CropVoice Whole Farm for the 2027 Season to Give Farmers Control of Disease in Both Soybeans and Corn
InnerPlant, the company that converts invisible biological reactions inside crops to visible data, today announced CropVoice Whole Farm, the 2027 version of its disease detection network that alerts corn and soy growers to fungal disease before symptoms are visible.
CropVoice Whole Farm builds on the blockbuster success of the company’s InnerSoy™ sensors that are genetically engineered to emit an optical signal when infected, and adds InnerCorn™ sensors so farmers can protect both crops. The system sends weekly scouting reports, as well as real-time alerts when an active infection is detected near their fields. CropVoice Whole Farm also adds a 24/7 agronomy dashboard so farmers have access to critical information whenever they need it.
“This is the breakthrough the industry has been waiting for,” said Shely Aronov, co-founder and CEO of InnerPlant. “With over 90M acres planted in the U.S., corn remains the largest crop in the United States, and growers are under increasing pressure to maximize returns amid increasing disease pressure. CropVoice™ Whole Farm provides soy and corn farmers with insights to determine the best times to make confident spray decisions and provides them with data to confirm an infection before symptoms are visible in the field.”
For decades, farmers have relied on indirect signals such as weather forecasts, scouting reports, soil conditions, and historical disease pressure to guide crop protection decisions. CropVoice changes that model by allowing the plant itself to communicate when disease is present. Rather than managing probabilities, growers gain access to real-time biological signals generated directly from the crop, enabling faster and more confident decisions.
CropVoice’s plant signals are combined with other data sources, including constant monitoring of environmental conditions, tissue sampling to determine which pathogens are present, and images and notes from field agronomists, which all feed disease forecast maps for the coming week. The system is supported by InnerPlant’s local field team with more than 60 years of combined agronomy experience and eight PhDs, spanning functional genomics to infrastructure systems engineering.
