CropVoice Help Center

CropVoice helps farmers take control of disease in their fields by sending alerts when disease is present, weeks before symptoms are scoutable in fields. These text and email alerts are powered by a network of first-of-their-kind soybeans and corn engineered to signal only when there is an active infection. Farmers also receive access to a real-time Control Center to monitor the status of disease in their area and weekly scouting reports with agronomic insights.

Farmers can monitor the real-time status of disease in their area and weekly scouting reports with agronomic insights through the real-time Control Center.

Farmers also receive Disease Alerts when there is confirmed above-ground soybean or corn fungal disease near their fields. This alerts farmers to actual pathogens infecting real soybean or corn plants in their area. Customers choose to receive Disease Alerts directly to their phone via text message and email, or as a notification to their John Deere Operations Center.

Scouting reports and Disease Alerts are powered by a network of CropVoice plots monitored daily that feature InnerSoy™ and InnerCorn™ sensors, a soybean plant engineered to signal only when there is infection from pathogens that cause diseases like frogeye leaf spot or white mold. Farmers can get started with CropVoice by enrolling through their local retailer or seed dealer.

InnerSoy and InnerCorn plants are genetically engineered to fluoresce, or signal, when the plant's immune system responds to infection by fungal pathogens.

The quickest way to get started is to call (877) 418-2062 or send us a note at CropVoice@InnerPlant.com. We can confirm whether CropVoice is available in your area and direct you to a local retailer or seed dealer who sells CropVoice.

For the 2027 season, CropVoice is available in parts of Nebraska and Iowa. To find out if CropVoice is available in your specific area, call (877) 418-2062 or send us a note at CropVoice@InnerPlant.com.

Insights from InnerSoy and InnerCorn are available exclusively through CropVoice today. InnerSoy and InnerCorn seeds are not available for purchase.

CropVoice is available for soybeans to detect above-ground fungal disease. Starting in the 2027 growing season, CropVoice will also be available for corn.

Once you let your retailer or seed dealer know that you'd like to purchase CropVoice, they will need the following information to get you enrolled:

• Farmer contact information (phone and email)
• Name of your farm operation
• Field boundaries (shapefiles) and crop type for your enrolled fields
• (If applicable) Organization name as it appears in John Deere Operations Center if you would like to connect your CropVoice account with John Deere Operations Center

You do not need to provide any additional information like soil sampling results, planting data, or field history.

Farmers will receive a Disease Alert any time there is an active soybean or corn disease detected that could impact their fields. Disease Alerts and scouting reports are provided during the growing season (after planting through August).

To see a map of all of your fields enrolled in CropVoice, log-in to the Control Center (available starting April 2027 after your field boundaries have been uploaded).

InnerPlant partners closely with seed dealers, retailers, and advisors to bring CropVoice to farmers. Our commercial partners are key to helping farmers adopt and get the most out of CropVoice.

No, InnerPlant does not sell crop protection inputs. InnerPlant is an independent agricultural technology company focused on developing biosensors to spotlight areas of concern so farmers can quickly take corrective measures to protect their crop and increase yields in a scalable, affordable way. While we partner with the retailers and seed dealers farmers trust, we encourage farmers to work directly with their trusted advisors to convert CropVoice insights into action.

InnerSoy and InnerCorn are engineered to signal within hours of fungal infection. CropVoice delivers text alerts based on these signals, often weeks before symptoms are visible in fields.

CropVoice detects disease from above-ground fungal pathogens of soybeans and corn. Specific identification is provided for soybean diseases like white mold, Cercospora leaf blight, and frogeye leaf spot. For the 2027 season, specific identification of corn diseases will be provided if available.

No. CropVoice is designed to provide early and specific warning to farmers of fungal disease so they can quickly make the best decision for their particular operation. We encourage farmers to use this information with their trusted crop advisors to choose the best agronomic solution for their fields.

Our team has developed models for yield-threatening diseases that take into account several variables, including: temperature, rainfall, leaf wetness hours, windspeed, and humidity.

Yes. InnerSoy and InnerCorn used in CropVoice are engineered to signal only in the presence of fungal pathogens and do not signal from other types of stressors like insects, drought, or nutrient deficiency.

Disease Alerts and Scouting Reports are delivered through text message, email, or the John Deere Operations Center to the contact information you provide when enrolling. New for 2027, the CropVoice Control Center will be available through any web browser for real-time information about disease impacting your fields.

Unlike digital or mechanical sensors, CropVoice relies on actual living corn and soybean plants engineered to emit optical signals within hours of being stressed by fungal pathogens, called InnerCorn and InnerSoy. CropVoice combines those signals with other key data, molecular assays, environmental modeling and experienced scouting to confirm specific soybean and corn diseases, often before symptoms are scoutable by humans or other in-field sensors in the field.

InnerCorn and InnerSoy plants are monitored daily. A Disease Alert is triggered when InnerSoy or InnerCorn plants signal that there is actual disease infecting a corn or soybean plant. A Disease Alert is determined for a specific field based on the proximity and similarity of the environmental and management conditions of the infected InnerSoy or InnerCorn plants.

CropVoice Disease Alerts tell you if there is actual disease detected that may impact your fields. The Disease Alert will generally indicate a specific disease detected and forecasted impact to yield. Recommendations on potential actions to take and factors to consider will be included where possible.

You know your fields and farm conditions best, including agronomic factors like: row spacing, irrigation, planted variety susceptibility, planting date, disease history of each field; as well as economic factors like: your farm’s cost of fungicide and application, and projected yield. CropVoice provides information about disease presence, and you can tailor this to your specific situation.

If you ever want to discuss this with a trained agronomist, please give us a call at (877) 418-2062 or talk to your local agronomist or retailer about the CropVoice Disease Alert.

An InnerPlant sensor plant is a first-of-its-kind plant engineered to signal when infected a fungal pathogens. The plant sends a signal through fluorescence within hours of stress onset, oftentimes weeks before visible symptoms appear in fields.

Fluorescence is when a substance absorbs light and then re-emits it as a different color of light. InnerPlant engineers its sensor plants to produce a unique fluorescent signal when they experience stresses from above-ground fungal pathogens, allowing specialized cameras to detect the signal and alert farmers before visible symptoms appear.

InnerSoy and InnerCorn are the brand names for InnerPlant's proprietary soybean and corn sensor plants.

CropVoice scouting reports are detailed scouting reports sent weekly with agronomic insights and disease forecasts. Scouting reports are available throughout the growing season when disease risk is greatest (roughly after planting through the end of August). The reports include all data available from the disease triangle (host, pathogen, environment) relevant to a particular farm.

CropVoice Disease Alerts warn farmers to actual disease that may impact their fields and the level of risk. Disease Alerts are sent as detections happen and only to impacted farmers. Farmers can receive multiple Disease Alerts per field, per season, depending on disease activity. Customers can choose to receive Disease Alerts directly to their phone via text message or email, or as a notification to their John Deere Operations Center. New for 2027, Disease Alerts will be visible in the CropVoice Control Center that farmers can log-in to via web browser.

If no Disease Alerts are provided, it means that the CropVoice network has not detected fungal diseases that would impact your fields. Discuss with your retailer or agronomist how this information may impact your fungicide plan.

A "high-risk" disease forecast in a scouting report indicates that environmental conditions are conducive and/or pathogen presence is detected and/or the crop is highly susceptible; but no disease has actually been confirmed across the CropVoice network. A Disease Alert is triggered when InnerSoy or InnerCorn plants signal that there is an actual infection.

A Disease Alert is sent when the CropVoice network detects actual disease, with three possible color-coded ratings:

Yellow: Watch-out provided for farmer awareness. Farmers should monitor susceptible fields.

Orange: Warning notifying farmers that higher risk to yield is likely. Action may be warranted in some cases given specific risk factors.

Red: Action warranted. Potential yield loss is highest. Farmers should consider applying fungicide.

Discuss with your retailer or agronomist how to best address the increased risk or detected disease in your fields.

CropVoice monitors InnerSoy and InnerCorn plants daily, the first-of-their-kind soybeans and corn engineered to signal when there is infection from above-ground fungal pathogens. After analyzing over 200,000 images of InnerSoy and InnerCorn, the data scientists at InnerPlant have developed proprietary computer vision models that categorize the patterns of fluorescence into the most likely disease.

In addition, InnerPlant runs an extensive weekly tissue sampling and molecular assay program across the CropVoice network during the season to detect the presence of pathogens. Scientists at InnerPlant have developed proprietary molecular assays, or tests, to determine if DNA from a specific pathogen is present in a foliar tissue sample.

Our team uses the disease identification models combined with molecular assays, environmental modeling, and experienced scouting to identify specific soybean diseases in season, often before symptoms are scoutable by humans in the field.

Each field can receive multiple Disease Alerts throughout a season, depending on different diseases detected and the changing severity of each disease.

Every CropVoice scouting report includes a disease risk forecast for the week ahead, so you can see at a glance how likely disease development is in your area. Once disease is actually detected, you will receive a Disease Alert.

Ratings are generated by InnerPlant’s proprietary disease forecast models, which combine three factors:

1. Crop susceptibility at its current growth stage
2. Pathogen presence and where the pathogen is in its lifecycle
3. Environmental conditions such as temperature, rainfall, leaf wetness hours, windspeed, and humidity.

High risk — Conditions strongly favor infection. Crop susceptibility, pathogen presence, and environmental conditions are aligned such that infection is likely in the week ahead, but no actual disease has yet been detected.

Medium risk — Conditions are moderately favorable. Risk may be elevated in some fields or parts of your area depending on crop maturity and local conditions, but is not uniformly high.

Low risk — Conditions are not favorable for infection in the week ahead.

Yes. Coming in April 2027, you will be able to customize your scouting reports from the CropVoice Control Center on any web browser.

The environmental conditions that affect disease risk that CropVoice reports out include cumulative rainfall, average temperature and humidity, cumulative leaf wetness hours, and in-canopy humidity.

Cumulative Rainfall

What it is: The scouting report displays a chart with the cumulative rainfall over the course of the season to date, for the specific reported region. The cumulative rainfall for this season is compared to a red line indicating the historical rainfall average since 2000.

Why it matters/what it means: Moisture is critical for crop growth, as well as fungal growth. Outside of irrigated fields, rainfall is the major source of moisture in-season.

Average Temperature

What it is: The scouting reports display the average temperature from the rolling previous 30-days (so each new scouting report will drop the oldest week and add the newest week of data). This is compared to the historical temperature average since 2000.

Why it matters/what it means: Different pathogens have specific ranges of temperature where they can infect crops and rapidly multiply. Awareness of these ranges is critical to understand disease pressure.

Average Humidity

What it is: The scouting reports display the average humidity from the rolling previous 30-days (so each new scouting report will drop the oldest week and add the newest week of data). This is compared to the historical temperature average since 2000.

Why it matters/what it means: Many pathogens thrive in warm, moist environments. With higher relative humidity, leaves stay wet longer, allowing for pathogens to sporulate. Different pathogens have specific ranges of temperature and humidity where they can infect crops and rapidly multiply.

Cumulative Leaf Wetness Hours

What it is: The scouting reports display the number of hours where leaves are most likely to be moist (the number of hours where humidity is >80%). This is compared to the historical cumulative leaf wetness hour average since 2000, the accumulation starts as of May 10.

Why it matters/what it means: Many plant pathogens require moisture on the surface of plants to be able to infect. Cumulative leaf wetness hours provides context on the opportunity that a pathogen may have to infect a host plant.

In-Canopy Humidity

What it is: The scouting reports display the average in-canopy humidity for well-watered soybeans in the district, based on a USDA-ARS-backed model, validated by data coming off of our equipment in the field, close to the ground between rows.

Why it matters/what it means: the humidity level that matters the most for disease development is the humidity level around the plant. While ambient humidity gives a general idea of disease favorability in the region in general, this key variable gives information more specific to the conditions within soybean fields in the in specific.

To enroll a farmer in CropVoice, you will need the following information for each farm operation:

• Farmer contact information (phone and email)
• Name of the farm operation
• Field boundaries and crop type for enrolled fields. The best format is typically a shapefile for each field within their operation (to be entered before the 2027 season starts)
• (If applicable) Organization name as it appears in John Deere Operations Center if the farmer would like to connect their CropVoice account with John Deere Operations Center

You do not need to provide any additional information like soil sampling results, planting data, or field history.

To enroll a farmer in CropVoice, log into the enrollment portal at cropvoice.innerplant.com.

Once you've signed in, you'll see your account dashboard. This will display your details and information on the left. If you were a CropVoice partner last year, you’ll see a panel on the right side labeled “2027 Reenrollment.” Select this to re-enroll CropVoice customers from last year.

To enroll a new farmer, click on the “Enroll new farmer” button at the top. This button will open the new farmer enrollment screen, where you’ll enter the farmer's name, the farm name, estimated number of acres expected to be enrolled, and the email and phone numbers where scouting reports and disease alerts should be sent during the season. You should also select a plan for 2027 based on the customer’s soybean acreage and check the box if they would like to enroll their corn acres. If the farmer is a John Deere Operations Center user and would like to receive alerts via that platform, enter the organization name as it appears in Ops Center.

Once all the information for the farmer is entered, click “enroll farmer.”

See the following video for step-by-step details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U17z75NS0hA

You will choose the plan that most closely matches the number of acres the farmer is enrolling. If the actual soybean acres exceed plan, the farmer will be reassigned to the next acreage tier.

In 2027, CropVoice will begin piloting CropVoice powered by InnerCorn. If applicable, farmers can choose the Corn Add-on to receive CropVoice monitoring across all their corn acres, with introductory pricing offered for the introductory year only.

First, log into your CropVoice enrollment portal account at cropvoice.innerplant.com. Once you sign in, you will see your account dashboard. This will display your details and information on the left. On the right you will see a panel labeled Farmer Enrollments. If you were a CropVoice partner last year, you’ll also see a panel labeled “2027 Reenrollment" listing farmer that you have re-enrolled in CropVoice.

Once you enroll a farmer, you will have the option to upload that farmer's shapefiles to establish field boundaries that will be monitored by CropVoice.

First, go to the enrollment portal at cropvoice.innerplant.com. From the farmer profile, click the farmer’s name to launch the field enrollment window. To enroll fields for the selected farmer, click “add fields” in the right-side panel to open the field upload window, where you can drag and drop shape files for multiple fields.

It’s important that all of the component files that make up a shapefile are compressed and zipped together before uploading. Simply drag and drop the zipped file containing the component files into the uploader. Once the files are processed, the system will display a review window where you can confirm that the shape files were properly uploaded, select crop type as either soybean or corn, and complete the enrollment of the fields by clicking “enroll fields” on the top right. The system will confirm successful enrollment of the fields and offer the choice of enrolling additional fields or returning to the farmer profile or your main dashboard.

You can make edits to your farmer's fields at any time, but all fields need to uploaded by early June 2027.

To enroll returning customers for the 2027 season in the CropVoice enrollment portal, first log-in and then click “Review Reenrollment.”

This will take you to a list of farmers who were customers last year. First, select a plan in which you’d like to enroll your returning customers. Then, select the checkbox next to each farmer you’d like to enroll in that plan for 2027. This will save time by enrolling multiple returning customers at once. Then click “enroll selected."

Next, you’ll have the opportunity to double-check each farmer’s information and select the button if they would like the corn add-on for 2027. Click “Confirm & Enroll” and it will take you to the next farmer that you are re-enrolling. Repeat this process until your queue of re-enrolling farmers is cleared.
