Real-time plant monitoring for indoor & greenhouse growing

In Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), precision is key for sustainable and efficient practices. Even in the most optimised greenhouse conditions, plants can experience stress that often goes undetected. But what if your crops could tell you exactly what they need and when adjustments in irrigation or nutrients are required? Our AI-powered agricultural plant sensors provide real-time plant feedback by tracking plant signals and the influence of key environmental and nutritional factors in greenhouse and indoor growing environments. This information becomes visible on our live analytics dashboard, enabling growers to take action before stress impacts crop health and yield. By detecting stress signals early before visual symptoms, it enables growers to prevent yield loss, optimize resource use, and improve crop performance. Whether in traditional greenhouses or vertical farming, this data-driven approach ensures more effective decision-making and healthier crops.

Your plants alert you when:

Water uptake triggers stress, signalling the need to adjust irrigation settings.

Nutrient levels N, P, K, Ca, Mn or Fe require fine-tuning.

LED lighting needs tuning to optimise growth or reduce energy costs.

Biostimulants are showing the desired effect.

Greenhouse climate conditions are limiting the optimal growth potential.

How it works

Constant communication between the roots and shoots

Plants communicate internally using electrical, mechanical and chemical signals. They respond to external changes with characteristic electrical wave patterns. By continuously monitoring selected plants in each field, which is normally about 8 plants per hectare, throughout the crop cycle, our technology provides real-time data on crop health, early detection of crop stress and insights into responses to crop treatments, allowing you to respond effectively to plants’ needs. Using innovative electronics and AI, Vivent Biosensors detects abiotic stresses, like drought and nutrient deficits, and in some crops, biotic stresses, such as nematodes and aphids. Vivent Biosignals crop health metrics integrate with decision support tools, enabling growers to optimise conditions quickly and providing real-time evidence of crop treatment efficacy. This leads to increased yields and environmentally preferable crop protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How many plant sensors should I install in my greenhouse?
  • This depends on your goals. For growers who want to monitor climate settings, one sensor set (8 plants) per section is often sufficient. However, model strength and result accuracy improve with more sensors. We can always provide personalized advice on this. For research where different treatments are compared, we recommend 2 sets (16 plants) per treatment to ensure statistically strong results.
2. How should a greenhouse grower respond when receiving an alert?
  • Many growers like to receive alerts for specific conditions, such as water status (drought stress) or plant adaptation. Beforehand, we explain in detail what the models indicate. When a plant goes out of balance, we recommend checking your climate settings—was a window unexpectedly opened or closed? Did the irrigation system fail temporarily? Was the heating pipe just started up? Because plant stress becomes visible (even when you can’t see it on the plant), you can optimize cultivation and adjust your growing actions based on real-time plant feedback.
3. Can Vivent’s technology distinguish between multiple stress factors within a single signal?
  • Yes. The signals contain a lot of information, and with machine learning and AI, we can decode them. Because our models are trained, they can distinguish between different stressors from the same signal at the same time.
4. What kind of plant signal is measured?
  • We measure the electrical potential difference (in millivolts) between active and reference electrodes inserted in the plant. This reflects changes in the concentration of charged molecules between these two points. These charged molecules include inorganic ions such as Ca²⁺, NO₃⁻, and Cl⁻, as well as organic ions like sugars and proteins with polar groups. Fluctuations in potential arise because the local ion concentration around the electrodes is influenced by various processes, such as membrane polarization, nutrient transport through transpiration, photosynthesis, and many others.
5. What is the cost of working with Vivent sensors?
  • Costs depend on several factors, such as how many sections you want to monitor and for what purpose. Schedule a free meeting with us and we’ll be happy to walk you through the pricing options in detail.
6. Do the plant sensors require power?
  • At Vivent, we offer two types of plant biosensors: PSR8 and VITA1. The PSR8 sensors require a power source, while the VITA1 sensors are battery-operated.
7. Is Vivent’s technology compatible with all plant types?
  • We develop and validate our models across several species, such as tomato, gerbera, and strawberry. When the models perform well across all three, we know they’re reliable. We now have experience with many plant types, both indoor and outdoor—apple trees, soft fruits, tomatoes, peppers, cut flowers, and potted plants.
