Oxin Growers, one of the largest grower cooperatives in the Netherlands, has started a research project in collaboration with Antonie. Within this project, the LIFE Monitor is used to gain deeper insight into soil life and its relationship with crop health, with a specific focus on the control of whitefly and cabbage aphids.

Together with Van Putten Agro and Kleijwegt LTB, 32 measurements will be carried out across multiple trial plots during the season. Using our AI-driven microscopy, the LIFE Monitor maps nematodes and functional biodiversity in detail. The collected data is translated into insights on soil health and resilience, enabling growers to make more informed cultivation decisions.

This collaboration highlights the growing demand for scalable, data-driven soil insights across the sector. Antonie is proud of the trust placed by Oxin Growers and looks forward to the results and the next steps that will follow.
