Vivent Biosignals

Here Vivent SA we are delighted that the #wef has recognised #wearablesforplants in their #emergingtechnology report as a leading solution that will impact the sustainability of farming. We were also delighted to be able to attend the WEF Summer Davos session - Annual Meeting of New Champions #amnc23 in Tianjin China where we were inspired by the range of solutions to solving global issues like #climatechange and #poverty. We would be delighted to share more information with anyone interested in real-time plant responses to environmental changes and in crop health specifically  #agrochem, #biologicals and #cropprotection companies. You will be able to detect crop stressors well before visual symptoms and see how your products are impacting crop health. We are also working with large scale farmers, particularly in high tech greenhouses to improve yields and reduce inputs. #sustainability #farming #tech4good #horticulture #foodsecurity

Choosing substrates is always a challenge, especially without good quality data on plant resilience and root performance. Students from Alumni Hogeschool Inholland Delft Tuinbouw & Agribusiness took on this challenge! On this project they collaborated with Zwingrow B.V., Vivent #Biosignals and received financial support from Topsector Horticulture & Starting Materials and Wij zijn Katapult to promote digitization and energy-efficient cultivation. Over the course of six months, Inholland students monitored forty pepper plants—twenty grown on rock wool and twenty on coconut mats. Using high-tech biosensors from Vivent Biosignals, they collected detailed data on plant health and plant activity. How were the plant balance, plant activity, water status, calcium status, and potassium status analyzed? Through the Vivent Biosignals’ live online dashboard. Calculations and models were generated using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Student Tim Buitelaar: ‘‘We have learned how to use the latest biosensors to measure how plants respond to changes in their environment and how to analyze and understand that data. We also discovered that crops grown on an organic substrate (coir) appear less susceptible to root problems than on rock wool. This makes us very valuable as future employees, because we are the generation that will work with this technology. The best part was that we could really do something for a cultivation company. The hardest part was extracting meaningful information from all the data available. But once we figured it out, we could hardly stop checking the dashboard. Great to learn this way!”  ✅ Curious?

🌱🥒 At Lethbridge Polytechnic CARIE, they’re using our Vivent #Biosensor technology to monitor the electrical signals of cucumber crops in real-time. This allows them to instantly see how their crops respond to environmental stresses. With real-time monitoring, the research team at Lethbridge can track plant health, make data-driven decisions to optimize growing conditions and boost performance by ensuring healthier, stress-free plants for better yields and quality. Postdoctoral Researcher Seyed M. Hashemi: ‘This tech not only optimizes plant health but also reduces water, fertilizer, and energy consumption, making our #hydroponic practices more #sustainable than ever’. Thankyou to Seyed M. Hashemi, Andrzej Kurenda, Moritz Graeff and Norm Janssen for their dedicated work on this project. 🌿 Follow our LinkedIn page to receive the latest insights into our newest projects, research, and developments!

🌱🔬 Plant nematode infections can lead to up to 60% yield loss in crops. Tackling these damaging parasites requires a multi-faceted approach, including both preventative and targeted solutions. But how can we determine the effectiveness of specific treatments if their impact is not immediately visible? In a groundbreaking study, a team of scientists led by Andrzej Kurenda from Vivent #Biosignals and Syngenta Fellow Anke Buchholz has successfully monitored the stress levels of plants in real time using Vivent Biosignals’ advanced technology. This innovative approach provides crucial insights into 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 and 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 from nematode damage.

𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗪𝗚 𝗕𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆! 🌱 Incredible day at 𝗟𝗪𝗚 Germany! It was a pleasure to contribute to LWG's public outreach event, showcasing promising technologies for German vegetable growers. A highlight was Andreas Kolbeck from Vivent #Biosignals, who demonstrated how it’s possible to listen to plants responding to changes in their environment. Such changes, for example lack of water in the leaves, are transmitted throughout the plant body via electrical signals - like a signal transmitted by a nerve - down to the root system where water is taken up. By tapping into this unique communication system, Vivent Biosignals can identify specific 'messages' to help LWG and farmers develop an early detection mechanism for blossom end rot. 🌿🍅 During a combined experiment at LWG’s greenhouse facilities, we successfully showcased the 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙘𝙞𝙪𝙢 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 — a major contributor to blossom end rot in tomatoes — before any visible symptoms appeared. Timely warnings sent to growers enable them to act and protect the health of their plants - an innovative approach for greater yield and quality in vegetable cultivation. This innovative approach is a game-changer for Sustainable Agriculture!
