Precision agriculture is good at answering “where?” But as Carrol explains, Vivent adds another essential question: “when?” For biologicals, timing is key. When does a product start working, and how does the crop respond? Plant signals reveal these responses while the trial is still running, giving
- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻! Our 𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 is just around the corner. In one week, we’ll be talking about how berry growers can detect plant stress earlier, optimise irrigation and fertiliser use, and make better cultivation decisions. How? By combining 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 to understand what’s happening inside the crop before it becomes visible. Curious to learn more?

- Does systems thinking enable action, or can it sometimes make implementation feel even more daunting? That was one of the questions Carrol Plummer brought home from 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗧𝗥𝗦 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 (Round Table on Responsible Soy Association (RTRS)) 💡 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗹’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: It was encouraging to see systems thinking applied across the soy supply chain, alongside a clear and shared commitment to responsible soy. This matters as the sector prepares for
- Clubroot starts below ground, causing damage long before visible symptoms appear in the field. So, how can we detect crop stress before we can see it, especially when the problem begins below ground? On 𝟭𝟱 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟴:𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗧, Andrzej Kurenda and Carrol Plummer will speak at a Canola Global webinar, GCSS 2026: “Monitoring hidden crop stress with plant electrophysiology: applications for canola and clubroot research.” For canola growers, breeders and researchers across key production markets such as Poland,
- For decades, agriculture has relied on visible signs to understand what plants need. But long before stress becomes visible, plants are already sending signals. 🌱🌎 At Vivent, we’re exploring a new frontier in agriculture: combining plant biology with artificial intelligence to unlock these hidden insights. Watch Carrol Plummer of Vivent Biosignals explain how we’re using plant signals to help shape a more sustainable and resilient future for agriculture. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. The next step is
