BioLumic UV Light Treatment Shines a Bright Future For Row Crop Seeds

BioLumic recently partnered with Gro Alliance to bring Ultraviolet light-activated seed treatments to a commercial scale. The right ‘recipe’ of UV light exposure can trigger desirable results in crops such as altered nutritional profiles, pest and disease resistance, and increased yields. BioLumic’s current target is to see a 10% yield increase in crops grown from UV-treated seeds over crops from conventionally treated seeds.

To achieve these goals, BioLumic has partnered with Gro Alliance, a seed supply chain solutions company, who works directly with seed companies, breeding organizations and startups across the US to bring in new technologies or enhanced seed products to farmers. BioLumic is ready to commercialize and will install the first commercial-scale light application in 2024 at Gro Alliance’s production facility in Mt. Pulaski, Illinois.
