ITS reported iFovib-G in June 2025 as a research innovation for early detection of Ganoderma boninense in oil palms using photon and vibration technology. The same report discusses preparations for commercialisation after research; current sales status requires direct confirmation.
An early-detection claim needs evaluation against an appropriate reference method. Field teams also need a repeatable sampling procedure, records linking readings to individual trees and a clear process for following up uncertain results.
Design a limited evaluation with qualified agricultural specialists. Compare instrument readings with their reference assessments and record practical operating conditions. Treat the output as part of a diagnostic workflow, with decisions made by the responsible specialists.
