Plants tell you when biostimulants work. We let you listen.
Our wearable sensors decode plant biosignals to reveal true crop responses to biostimulants in real time. Biostimulant companies can prove efficacy and optimise formulations faster, while growers and advisors fine-tune dosages and application schedules for maximum impact. Less trial-and-error. More measurable crop health gains.

“Using Vivent’s plant sensors has transformed how we work with our customers. The real-time plant insights allow us to clearly demonstrate biostimulant efficacy, while fine-tuning application schedules and optimising formulations for specific crops and field conditions.”
Krystian Rębisz Managing Director at Andermatt Polska
How it works
Two electrodes are gently attached to a plant to capture its natural internal electrical signals, which are amplified and recorded continuously. The sensors remain in place throughout the crop cycle, providing a direct, real-time view of plant health and stress responses under real field conditions. Data from the field is transmitted via a Lora gateway to Vivent’s cloud where it is processed. Crop health metrics are visible on an engaging dashboard accessible from any connected device.
In a homogeneous field, we typically deploy 8 Vita biosensors, each monitoring a single representative plant. This setup allows growers to track how crops respond to irrigation, fertiliser programs, and other agronomic practices across the field. A simple interface translates plant signals into clear indicators of crop health status and alerts farmers to emerging stress. Crop health insights are available in real time and on demand wherever you are.
Plant signals are continuously compared against a library of diagnostic algorithms covering key abiotic stresses such as water stress, nutrient imbalances (N, P, K, Ca, Fe, Mn), and climatic stress, as well as biotic pressures including pests and diseases. Diurnal (nycthemeral) rhythms, and plant responses to light and climate conditions, are clearly visible. The effectiveness of crop treatments is assessed in real time and can be directly linked to weather conditions, soil parameters, and irrigation events, helping growers understand not just what works, but why and when.
Real time information from plants
Plants respond to stress long before visible symptoms appear. By capturing these early signals, growers gain timely insight into when crops are under pressure—allowing interventions before yield or quality is compromised. Even small reductions in periods of high stress can translate into meaningful yield improvements.
Direct feedback from the plant supports data-driven optimisation of irrigation strategies and fertiliser mixes, helping growers apply the right inputs, at the right time, and in the right amounts. This reduces over-application, improves resource efficiency, and supports more consistent crop performance across variable field conditions.
By revealing how crops respond to changing weather, soil moisture, nutrient availability, and emerging pest or disease pressure, Vivent enables growers to make informed agronomic decisions based on plant responses—not on assumptions. The result is healthier crops, improved resilience, and more confident day-to-day management.
“Vivent sensors allowed us to clearly see how Andermatt’s Rhizo biostimulant stabilised maize performance during a challenging season. The benefits were visible in plant physiology, kernel quality, and real commercial yield.”

PROBLEM
During the 2025 season, maize crops experienced atypical and challenging conditions, including a prolonged cool spring and periods of water and thermal stress during key growth stages. Traditional field observations and end-of-season yield measurements made it difficult to understand how biostimulant treatments influenced plant performance, particularly under variable weather conditions.
SOLUTION
Agrii deployed VITA plant biosensors across maize trial plots to continuously monitor plant electrophysiological signals throughout the growing season. This enabled real-time comparison of treated (Rhizo biostimulant) and untreated plants, providing direct insights into water status, nutrient dynamics, and physiological stability during vegetative growth, flowering, and grain filling.
RESULTS
With Vivent biosensors plant responses are visible—turning complex physiology into clear, decision-ready insights.
Vivent connects farmers, advisors, and biostimulant companies through real-time crop health insights. Our wearable sensors capture plant electrophysiological signals and translate them into practical, data-driven guidance—helping all stakeholders understand what works, when it works, and why. The result is better decisions in the field, stronger product performance, and more confident recommendations.
