Take control of disease. Before you see it.

CropVoice is a plant communication tool that takes the guesswork out of your soybean fungicide decision by sending you alerts when disease is confirmed near your fields, weeks before symptoms are scoutable in fields. These text alerts are powered by a network of first-of-their-kind soybeans engineered to signal only when there is an active infection from an above-ground pathogen. Farmers also receive scouting reports with agronomic insights for their local areas on a weekly basis during the season.

Farmers receive weekly scouting reports during the season with agronomic insights and disease forecasts for their local areas.

Farmers also receive Disease Alerts when there is confirmed above-ground soybean fungal disease near their fields. This alerts farmers to actual pathogens infecting real soybean plants in their area. Customers choose to receive Disease Alerts directly to their phone via text message, 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™ sensors, a soybean plant engineered to signal only when there is infection from pathogens that cause soybean diseases like frogeye leaf spot or white mold. Farmers can get started with CropVoice by enrolling through their local retailer.

CropVoice uses InnerSoy plants, the first-of-their-kind soybeans engineered to signal when there is infection from above-ground fungal pathogens. Once the InnerSoy plants in a CropVoice sensor plot signal infection, that information is supplemented with laboratory analysis, boots-on-the-ground scouting, local agronomic expertise, and advanced modeling.

InnerSoy plants are genetically engineered to fluoresce, or signal, when the soybean plant's immune system responds to infection by above-ground fungal pathogens.

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

Today, CropVoice is available for soybeans to detect above-ground fungal disease.

Once you let your retailer know that you'd like to purchase CropVoice, your retailer will securely provide the following information to InnerPlant to get you enrolled: farmer contact information (phone and email), John Deere Operation Center Account (if applicable), field names for all soybean fields within the CropVoice network coverage area, and field shapefiles. You do not need to provide any additional information like soil sampling results, planting data, or field history.

Farmers must enroll all their soybean fields within the CropVoice network coverage area to participate. This ensures they receive the most accurate and actionable insights, since disease pressure can vary from field to field based on geography, weather, and local conditions.

InnerPlant takes a number of measures, both organizationally and technically, to reduce the risk of accidental disclosure or loss of personal data. You can find out more in the InnerPlant Privacy Policy.

Contact your local retailer to enroll in CropVoice. Every enrolled farmer has a dedicated Customer Success Manager to ensure you get the most out of CropVoice. Additionally, you can always reach CropVoice support by emailing support@innerplant.com or calling (877) 418-2062.

CropVoice plots are selected to be representative of enrolled farmer practices and conditions. First, the data science team at InnerPlant analyzed historical data for CropVoice service areas, including: elevation, growing degree days, aridity index, root zone available water storage (to approximate soil quality), and seasonal temperature. Those variables were then used to create geographic "clusters," or zones. Our Field Agronomists use this zone map with retail partners, farmer customers and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) to select final plot locations based on farmer management practices and field disease history.

No, CropVoice operates as a regional network rather than field-by-field deployment. The sensor plots combine to form the CropVoice network which provides disease insights for multiple surrounding fields. InnerPlant and its partners handle all plot setup, management, and monitoring to ensure reliable, high-quality Disease Alerts.

The network is designed similarly to a cell tower network, with sensor plots placed strategically at a density that ensures reliable disease detection, with roughly one sensor plot per covered county.

Sensor plots are strategically placed based on several factors, so exact distances will vary but are optimized to provide reliable insights for participating farmers.

CropVoice sensor plots are designed to match local farmer practices (e.g., planting date, row width, irrigation, tillage, relative maturity of the InnerSoy variety, etc.). Additionally, each sensor plot is planted with at least five different seed types to capture a breadth of different disease susceptibility profiles. The scouting report provided at the beginning of the season will include details on management practices used in the CropVoice network, and other agronomic factors that impact disease development.

CropVoice delivers text alerts based on InnerSoy soybean plants' immune response to disease, weeks before symptoms are scoutable in fields.

If no Disease Alerts are provided, it means that the CropVoice network has not detected yield-limiting fungal diseases that are treatable in season in CropVoice plot(s) near the customer's enrolled field(s). No Disease Alert does not necessarily indicate the complete absence of disease, but rather that any diseases that have been detected and/or the severity of the diseases detected are unlikely to have significant impact on yield. Discuss with your retailer or agronomist how this information may impact your fungicide plan.

CropVoice detects disease from above-ground fungal pathogens, and provides specific identification of the two most economically damaging soybean diseases that are treatable by fungicide: white mold and frogeye leaf spot. The system provides early warnings for confirmed infections, helping farmers take timely, confident action to protect their crops.

Disease Alerts are delivered through: text message, email, or the John Deere Operations Center. There is no additional application farmers need to download or CropVoice log-in they need to remember.
