Greenhouse vegetable growers
Tomato, cucumber and pepper on soil, coir or rockwool, where a root disease can move along a whole row before anyone sees it.
Pathogens and pests leave traces of their DNA in soil and growing substrate before a plant wilts. Quantavera reads those traces, combines them with the climate and crop data you already have, and turns them into clear recommendations for your greenhouse.
When wilting or root rot becomes visible, the organism is usually established and spreading. The choice then is a broad treatment, pulling plants, or accepting the loss.

Check that plants leave your benches clean, and catch a problem before it ships to customers and becomes their loss and your reputation risk.
Where broad-spectrum chemistry is not an option, early and targeted detection matters even more. This follows our greenhouse work.
Quantavera is being founded in Vienna and builds on research from the University of Vienna. We are speaking with greenhouse growers in Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy and Spain to learn where disease costs them most. Growers who join early help decide which pathogens we test for first.
Together with growers, advisors and researchers, we are building integrated pest management that acts on what is happening in the root zone, not only on what is already visible. Validation in soil, coir and rockwool and the first greenhouse trials start in 2027. Join us early and help shape it.
