Real-Time Monitoring of Plant Signals in Lab and Field Environments
Plant electrophysiology has been a field of study for over a century, but progress in decoding plant signals has been limited. Now, Vivent Biosignals, along with other forward-thinking companies and researchers, are now making significant advances in understanding and decoding these signals and linking them to specific plant responses. Our advanced biosensors are designed to capture plant signals with precision, suitable for both soft-stemmed and woody species, regardless of size.
Whether you’re working in a controlled lab environment or in the field, Vivent Biosignals provides flexible options for your research. Our biosensors are available for lease or purchase, and come with access to a user-friendly and interactive analytics dashboard. This dashboard enables you to visualize plant signals, perform advanced statistical and machine learning analyses and monitor your experiments remotely via LiveView.
how do we work
Plants communicate internally using electrical, mechanical, and chemical signals, responding to stimuli with characteristic electrical wave patterns. Vivent’s advanced technology for smart agriculture records these signals throughout the crop cycle. Monitoring 16 – 32 plants per hectare and provide real-time insights into crop health, responses to crop treatments and threats. By utilizing innovative electronics and AI, Vivent Biosensors detect abiotic stresses like drought and nutrient deficits, as well as biotic stresses such as nematodes and aphids.
Vivent Biosignals crop health metrics integrate with decision support tools, enabling an immediate assessment of crop treatment efficacy, leading to increased yields and improved crop protection.
“For this study, strawberry plants were infected by thrips, the contamination of which could be detected after only 2 days with an electrophysical sensor. This means a significant time saving compared with visual inspection.”
“We have used the Vivent Biosignals sensors for over 2-yr. It opens up a new way of examining plant electrophysiological responses to exogenous stimuli with this tiny and smart tool. I personally appreciate all the help from Thomas and other staff at Vivent Biosignals for their patient answers throughout my experiment period.”
“The scientific project we are working on requires data sharing as collaborators in different cities use the equipment and analyze data. The response from the Vivent Biosignals team has been excellent. This concerns both technical support and the exchange of opinions with scientific staff from Vivent Biosignals.”
“We were surprised and delighted by these results. Plant electrophysiology can effectively distinguish those plants where the PDI (plant defense inducers) has been effective. We are very interested to see how this technology can help both in our research efforts and on the farm.”
“Vivent Biosignals plant sensors have allowed us to monitor electrical output in plants and reach important conclusions regarding the role of electrical signaling in plant defense. Vivent Biosignals’ team has helped us with equipment set up, and data interpretation. They always responded promptly and worked with our university finance department to facilitate payment.”
