olives but the idea might be viable for other plant pathogens
finding the infected before they show symptoms and act as a source of infection has lots of applications
paying one person and their dog to go for a walk and report on the health of the plants seems a decent expense compared to losing all of a farm of trees or an entire local economy
knowing where, how much and early makes sense with any potential outbreak

Good that they are doing this, if better late than never.
