IAGE is a French environmental molecular biology laboratory specialising in the early detection and monitoring of biological risks.
For professional sports pitches, IAGE uses advanced digital PCR technology to detect and quantify turf pathogens before visible symptoms appear, giving grounds teams the information they need to anticipate disease and make more targeted maintenance decisions.
Through its DIAGBOX® sampling solutions, laboratory analyses and digital monitoring platform, IAGE makes advanced biological diagnostics accessible to stadium and training ground teams throughout the season.
Our expertise
IAGE helps grounds teams understand what is happening biologically within their playing surface before problems become visible.
Using highly sensitive digital PCR analysis, IAGE can detect and quantify pathogens responsible for turf diseases at an early stage. This allows pitch managers to move from reactive treatment towards preventive and data-driven turf management.
Simple sampling methods make regular monitoring possible throughout the season. Samples are analysed by the IAGE laboratory and translated into actionable information through a digital platform, helping grounds teams identify risks, follow biological developments and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
For ESSMA members, this approach can support healthier and more resilient pitches while reducing unnecessary treatments and contributing to more sustainable turf management.
