PLANTVOICE® the app for diagnosing plant diseases
PLANTVOICE® is the made in alps technology that helps farmers predict the quality of agricultural production and maximize crop yields:
Thanks to its ability to analyze sap in real time, Plantvoice allows the optimal use of resources such as water, fertilizers and pesticides, improving plant health
Plantvoice is patented in Italy, Europe, the United States and in all major
international markets.
In the agricultural sector, timely diagnosis of plant diseases is a key element to guarantee the productivity and quality of crops. PlantVoice represents an advanced technological solution that allows real-time monitoring of plant physiology, quickly identifying any signs of stress or pathologies.
PlantVoice is based on an as-a-service sensor technology that collects and analyzes internal physiological data of plants, offering farmers detailed information on the health status of crops. Unlike traditional technologies that monitor the surrounding environment (such as soil sensors, satellite images or drones), PlantVoice performs an analysis directly from inside the plant, making the diagnosis more timely and precise.
The system consists of a minimally invasive phytocompatible device, which is inserted into the plant stem and allows monitoring salinity and sap flows, a sort of “plant electrocardiogram”. The device transmits the collected data to an artificial intelligence-based software, which processes them in the cloud through advanced algorithms. This allows to:
- Identify signs of water stress before they become critical, optimizing irrigation
- Recognize early attacks by fungi, bacteria and other pathogens, reducing the risk of epidemics in the field
- Analyze the plant’s response to agronomic treatments, improving phytosanitary management

Plantvoice® Ecosystem: Real-time Plant Health Monitoring and Integrated Management
An ecosystem of integrated tools that come together to provide the farm and the farmer with direct information on the physiology of the plant thanks to a non-invasive real-time analysis of the sap.
PlantVoice’s strategy is based on the concept of “sentinel plant”: the sensor is installed on a plant representative of a homogeneous plot (about half a hectare), allowing reliable data to be collected that can be applied to the entire cultivated area. The system offers constant and automated monitoring, reducing the need for manual inspections and allowing targeted interventions only when necessary.
An additional advantage is the API (Application Programming Interface) interface, which allows integration with other agricultural management platforms. This avoids fragmentation of information and allows farmers to use the data collected in synergy with other digital solutions for even more effective precision agriculture.
Using PlantVoice gives farmers the ability to make faster and more informed decisions, optimizing the use of resources and reducing losses due to undiagnosed diseases in time. Real-time monitoring and integration with artificial intelligence represent a significant step forward in crop protection, helping to improve the sustainability and profitability of farming.

Why Plantvoice®
We help farmers and agribusinesses save the world by improving production efficiency, innovating cultivation techniques, and optimizing resource use through market data analysis. Plantvoice is the right solution for more sustainable and advanced agriculture.
The only real-time solution for managing plant health and stress
Over 40% of costs are linked to excessive use of resources (water, fertilizers and phytodrugs)
Over 30% of production value can be lost due to incorrect management of plant health and stress
By 2050, agriculture as we know it today will no longer be able to feed everyone; it would be too inefficient and harmful to the ecosystem.
A model for optimizing resource use across the entire agricultural supply chain is needed.
The key is not to find new resources, but to optimize the existing ones.
We believe that the environment can only be preserved and protected by those who live in it every day. This is why our mission is to spread technology and make it easily usable by farmers, in order to achieve this great goal.
Our Manifesto

FAQ
Monitoring the health of a plant means interpreting a series of biological signals that indicate its well-being or the presence of stress. Traditional methods are based on the visual observation of symptoms such as yellowing of the leaves, stunted growth or the presence of parasites. However, these signals often appear when the problem is already advanced.
With PlantVoice, it is possible to obtain precise and timely information thanks to the innovative technology that analyzes the sap of the plant in real time. This system detects essential parameters such as sap flow, salinity and the presence of biochemical anomalies, allowing the early identification of stress factors such as water shortages, fungal diseases or bacterial infections.
Thanks to artificial intelligence and data transmission in the cloud, farmers receive immediate notifications on the physiological state of the plants, allowing them to intervene in a targeted manner and prevent damage to the crop.
To identify any diseases, it is always advisable to:
- Look at the leaves: brown or black spots may indicate scab (apple, pear), anthracnose, rust or fungal infections; yellowed or curled drops could be caused by nutrient deficiency, aphids, powdery mildew (white powdery coating) or viruses; gnawed edges could indicate the presence of insects such as caterpillars or beetles.
- Analyze the fruits: some molds can be symptoms of monilia (moldy and dry fruits), botrytis (gray mold) or anthracnose; some deformations can instead derive from sudden changes in water levels.
- Check the trunk and branches: cracks in the bark can indicate fungal infections and the release of resin, common in peach, apricot and cherry trees, is often caused by fungi or bacteria.
- Identify visible pests such as aphids (small green, black or yellow sap-sucking insects, often accompanied by ants), scale insects (small white or brown shields attached to branches and leaves), thrips and mites (tiny insects that cause silver spots or deformations in leaves).
- Pay attention to environmental conditions: high humidity can promote the growth of fungi such as downy mildew and powdery mildew.
The PlantVoice app is designed to simplify the identification of plant diseases through continuous and advanced monitoring. Unlike conventional methods, which rely on manual inspections and laboratory tests, PlantVoice technology uses an innovative sensor, inserted directly into the plant stem, to collect biochemical data.
When a fungal, bacterial or parasitic infection begins to develop, the plant undergoes internal physiological changes that PlantVoice can detect before visible symptoms appear. The data collected is analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithms, which notify farmers of any anomalies.
Through the app, it is possible to
✔ Receive early warnings on possible diseases, allowing timely interventions.
✔ Consult detailed reports with the analysis of the physiological parameters of the plant.
✔ Integrate the data with other agricultural tools, such as drones or meteorological sensors, for even more precise management.
This approach reduces the risk of production losses and limits the excessive use of pesticides, improving the quality of the harvest and optimizing management costs.
PlantVoice technology is an essential tool for agricultural operators, offering concrete support in the daily management of crops. The main advantages include:
- Real-time monitoring: farmers receive constant updates on the physiological state of plants, allowing targeted interventions and avoiding waste of resources.
- Prevention of environmental stress: sap analysis allows early identification of conditions of water, nutritional or pathological stress, improving the resilience of plants.
- Optimization of resources: thanks to the precision of the system, it is possible to reduce water consumption by up to 40% and limit the use of fertilizers and pesticides, with a positive economic and environmental impact.
- Integration with other systems: PlantVoice is compatible with drones, meteorological sensors and other agricultural technologies, allowing centralized and advanced management of crops.
- Simplification of decisions: the app offers intuitive dashboards and detailed reports that help agronomists and farms make informed decisions, increasing productivity and crop quality.
Sustainability is at the heart of PlantVoice’s philosophy, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural practices through a more intelligent use of resources. Its technology allows you to:
- Reduce water consumption: thanks to the constant monitoring of the plant’s water status, it is possible to optimize irrigation, reducing waste by up to 40%.
- Reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers: early biochemical analysis of plants allows you to intervene only when necessary, limiting the use of chemical substances and reducing the risk of soil and groundwater contamination.
- Use biocompatible materials: PlantVoice sensors are designed to be minimally invasive and made with eco-friendly materials, without altering the physiology of plants
- Support biodiversity and soil quality: a more conscious use of resources promotes an ecological balance in crops, improving soil health and plant productivity.
- Reduce the ecological footprint of agriculture: by optimizing production processes, PlantVoice helps reduce CO₂ emissions and make the entire agricultural cycle more efficient and eco-sustainable.
