Fungal spores that cause infectious fungal diseases in rice are mainly transmitted through air. The existing fixed, portable or vehicle-mounted fungal spore collection devices used for rice infectious diseases have several disadvantages, such as low efficiency, large volume, low precision and incomplete information. In this study, a mobile fungal spore collection device is designed, consisting of six filters called “Capture-A”, which can collect spores and other airborne particles onto a filter located on a rotating disc of six filters that can be rotated to a position allowing for the capture of six individual samples. They are captured one at a time and designed and validated by capturing spores above the rice field, and the parameters of the key components of the collector are optimized through fluid simulation and verification experiments. The parameter combination of the “Capturer-A” in the best working state is as follows: sampling vessel filter screen with aperture size of 0.150 mm, bent air duct with inner diameter of 20 mm, negative pressure fan with 1500 Pa and spore sampling of cylindrical shape. In the field test, the self-developed “Capturer-A” was compared with the existing “YFBZ3” (mobile spore collection device made by Yunfei Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou, China). The two devices were experimented on at 15 sampling points in three diseased rice fields, and the samples were examined and counted under a microscope in the laboratory. It was found that the spores of rice blast disease and rice flax spot disease of rice were contained in the samples; the number of samples collected by a single sampling vessel of “Capturer-A” was about twice that of the device “YFBZ3”in the test.
