Australian agtech company BioScout has won two awards at this year's Horticulture Awards for Excellence.
The company took out the 'Ag Tech and Mechanisation Award' as well as the 'Tech and Innovation Award' during the Hort Connections conference in Adelaide.
The company has been acknowledged for its "world’s first autonomous, real-time fungal surveillance network" that utilises patented artificial intelligence and automated microscopy.
One of its units is currently being used in a mango orchard in the Northern Territory.
