Every season farmers face the same expensive questions:

• Should I spray fungicide?
• Does this field really need more nitrogen?
• Which fields deserve my attention first?
• How do I know the recommendation is actually right?

At Tech Hub LIVE, Farm4Profit sits down with Kristine White, CEO of Spornado, and Jackson Stansell, CEO of Sentinel Ag, to explore two innovative technologies designed to answer those questions with data.

Kristine explains how Spornado captures airborne fungal spores before disease symptoms ever appear, allowing growers to make preventative fungicide decisions weeks earlier than traditional scouting. The conversation also dives into fungicide resistance testing, predictive disease modeling, and the future of automated disease alerts.

Jackson discusses Sentinel Ag's satellite-powered nitrogen management platform, which combines imagery, weather, soil characteristics, and proprietary calibration plots to help growers determine where—and whether—additional nitrogen is actually needed. The discussion expands into water management, nutrient efficiency, manure applications, and how AI could reshape agronomic decision-making.

The conversation also explores:

• Disease forecasting
• Satellite imagery
• AI in agriculture
• Crop scouting
• Fungicide timing
• Nitrogen management
• Water quality
• Retail agronomy
• ROI on new technology
• Data-driven farming
• Startup innovation
• The future of precision agriculture

If your goal is making smarter decisions before writing another input check, this episode is packed with ideas worth considering.

Nematodes may be hidden underground, but they can have a major impact on the long-term productivity of orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops.

In this What's Working in Ag segment, Daniel Abruzzini of Corteva joins Farm4Profit to discuss Salibro, an innovative nematicide that's changing how growers manage root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes in perennial cropping systems.

Unlike traditional fumigation practices performed before planting, Salibro offers growers the flexibility to make in-season chemigation applications through existing irrigation systems, helping protect valuable orchards throughout their productive lifespan.

Daniel also shares insights into California specialty crop production, including almonds, walnuts, grapes, citrus, leafy vegetables, brassicas, tomatoes, and more, while explaining why healthy root systems are critical for maximizing production over decades.

Topics include:

• What nematodes are and why they matter
• Traditional fumigation versus in-season management
• Salibro chemigation applications
• Root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes
• Orchard establishment and longevity
• California specialty crop production
• Irrigation and chemigation systems
• Soil sampling and treatment thresholds
• Root health and yield protection
• Long-term orchard profitability

Whether you farm orchards, vineyards, specialty crops, or simply want to learn about emerging crop protection technologies, this episode offers a practical look at one of agriculture's newest tools for underground pest management.

Dr. John Murphy, Director of Agronomy at AgXplore, joins the Farm4Profit crew to cut through the confusion and explain the science behind one of agriculture's fastest-growing product categories.

From seaweed extracts and amino acids to nutrient efficiency and stress reduction, Dr. Murphy explains how biostimulants influence plant biology, why they're different from biologicals and fertilizers, and how new research is changing the industry's understanding of crop performance.

The discussion also covers pending government definitions, future regulation, the latest university research, and practical recommendations for farmers considering their first biostimulant application.

Topics include:

• What biostimulants actually are
• Seaweed extracts and amino acids
• Plant stress reduction
• Nutrient efficiency
• Biologicals vs. biostimulants
• Gene expression in plants
• Fertilizer efficiency
• Crop nutrition
• Soil health
• Sustainable farming
• Farm Bill regulation
• Research from universities
• Timing applications for maximum ROI
• Future innovations in crop nutrition

Whether you're skeptical of biostimulants or already experimenting with them, this episode provides one of the clearest explanations available from a scientist who studies them every day.
