Improved Plant Health

The Plantsauna has been widely scientifically proven and commercially used to say that it is the most effective method to date for the eradication of pests, diseases, and fungi in plants before planting.
null

Plant Health Insurance

The Plantsauna allows our customers to sterilize their plant material, which mostly comes from different nurseries. The treatment enables our customers to insure themselves that no pests, diseases, or fungi come with that plant material into their production. This way, widespread contamination can be prevented.
null

Flexibility

The Plantsauna enables our customers to have the sterilization process in their own hands, no need to consult an external company. Conveniently placed at your own production location.
null

Energy Efficient

Because the Plantsauna is an isolated container, the sterilization process uses significantly less energy than an option like hot water treatment.
null

Sustainable

The Plantsauna enables our customers to use significantly fewer or no chemicals during production.

How Does It Work?

The Plantsauna uses a precise, controlled temperature regime. We utilize a combination of four unique technologies.

The Plantsauna uses aerated steam as an efficient energy carrier to transport heat into the plants. Because of our air circulation technology and precise temperature control, we ensure that all plants reach the desired temperature. In addition to this, these three technologies enable the plant to release a natural heat-resistant protein, which allows us to use higher temperatures for a prolonged time without damaging the plants.

FAQs

How can the Plantsauna eradicate pests without damaging the plant?

Our technology utilizes several cutting-edge approaches to enhance plant resilience in harsh environments. Firstly, the Plantsauna leverages steam as an efficient energy carrier to transport heat into the plants. Secondly, we incorporate innovative air circulation technology and precise temperature control to ensure that all plants reach the desired temperature. Additionally, our technology induces the release of natural temperature shock proteins, which make the plants more resilient to high temperatures for a longer period of time without causing damage.

Which pests and diseases does the Plantsauna significantly reduce or eradicate?

The Plantsauna treatment has been proven to significantly reduce or eradicate Strawberry Crown rot (Phytophthora Cactorum), Anthracnose (Colletotrichum acutatum), Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera aphanis), Pestalotiopsis, Angular leaf spot (Xanthomonas fragariae), Grey Mold (Botrytis Cinerea), Strawberry mite / Cyclamen mites (Tarsonemus Pallidus).

What crops does the Plantsauna work on?

The Plantsauna offers a highly effective method of heat treatment for plants, capable of replacing any other form of heat treatment available through other technologies. While currently utilized commercially for strawberries and raspberries, our technology holds promise for a broad spectrum of crops. If interested in deploying the Plantsauna for other crops, we invite you to contact us. We are confident in our ability to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional heat treatment methods for a diverse range of crops, extending well beyond the soft fruit sector.
