Detailed Review
Plantivo describes its field record as the modern replacement for the paper field book. Fertilising, plant protection and harvest are logged per field, and the software works out the permitted fertiliser amounts for the federal state concerned and warns when a plan would exceed them.
The vendor is Plantivo GmbH, entered at the commercial register of Bad Kreuznach under HRB 21666 with Andreas Schlarb as managing director. The site also lists drone work, contractor software and custom software, so the field record is one product of a small company.
The 2027 plant protection log
From 2027 plant protection documentation must be digital. Plantivo says its record already follows the new format: EPPO codes are filled in, approval numbers and active substances are added automatically, and time of day, BBCH stage, waiting periods and kind of use are captured.
Applications can be compared with the BVL rules, and the software warns about errors. The digital format is generated by the program.
Beyond the basic record
Operations that want more can calculate contribution margins and the nutrient flow balance, keep a pasture diary, or couple machines through ISOBUS and send them application maps. A precision farming consultancy is listed as a separate service.
Moving over from another tool
A data takeover service is offered to customers whose current field record is being switched off, with the vendor saying it can often move most of the documentation across. A demo operation can be tried before ordering.
Limitations to Consider
Everything is written around German law, in German; a farm outside Germany would not get the fertiliser logic. The only price on the pages reviewed is a testimonial-style line quoting a field record from €75 without stating the period, and the order page was not reachable. Hosting location is not stated. It is a small company, so ask about support hours; the site lists phone times Monday to Saturday.
Who Should Use Plantivo
German farms, including those whose current field record is being switched off, that want fertiliser planning and the 2027 plant protection log in one place and value a vendor reachable by phone.
