Innovation grounded in experience

Effective technology starts with a clear understanding of the problem it needs to solve.

Provar’s technology capabilities have grown from our own experience in horticultural research and cultivar evaluation. The need to manage complex datasets, standardise scientific workflows and communicate results more effectively has driven the development of increasingly sophisticated digital tools.

Today, we apply this experience beyond our own operations, working with industry partners to develop solutions that address practical challenges in research, evaluation and data management.

Better3Fruit × Culteva™

Innovation through collaboration

Our collaboration with Better3Fruit helped shape the development of Culteva™’s Tastings Module. By combining Better3Fruit’s practical tasting requirements with Provar’s evaluation and software expertise, we developed a digital solution that simplifies sensory assessments, data collection and reporting.

Today, the module supports structured fruit tastings through intuitive, browser-based forms and QR code access, making it easier to capture consistent feedback and manage tasting results.

THE PRO-HORT DASHBOARD

Supporting industry-wide cultivar evaluation.

Provar works with industry organisations and commercial partners to strengthen the evidence available for cultivar selection and development.

Our longstanding collaboration with Hortgro includes the Pro-Hort programme, which supports independent cultivar evaluation across representative production regions in South Africa.

Through systematic assessments over multiple seasons, the programme contributes to a growing body of evidence on cultivar performance and adaptability.

Starch Image Analysis

Bringing greater objectivity to maturity assessment

Our Starch Image Analysis project explores how image processing and machine learning can improve the consistency of apple maturity assessments.

By analysing photographs of starch-stained apple sections, the technology aims to provide more objective, repeatable measurements while reducing reliance on manual visual scoring.
