BioLumic programs plants with light. In doing so we unlock the potential of seeds and seedlings—without requiring use of chemicals or genetic modification.
BIoLumic's technology triggers biological mechanisms that have demonstrated increases in plant yield, vigor, and disease resistance.
We have worked across 12+ crops (including soybean, corn, cannabis, strawberries, leafy greens, canola), providing Light Signal Treatments to seeds and young plants.
