InnerPlant engineers crops to act as living sensors, embedding genetic modifications that cause plants to emit detectable optical fluorescent signals when stressed by pathogens, nutrient deficiencies, or drought. The company's flagship product, CropVoice, monitors soybean fields for fungal diseases such as white mold and frogeye leaf spot, providing real-time alerts to farmers before symptoms become visible. Detection works via optical sensors on farm equipment or satellite imagery. Founded in 2018 by Shely Aronov and Rod Kumimoto, InnerPlant combines functional genomics, agronomy expertise, and field scouting to translate plant signals into actionable crop management recommendations, enabling farmers to reduce pesticide use and improve yields.
