BioLumic treats seedlings and seeds with its proprietary ultraviolet light systems that precisely applies UV light treatments that deliver long-term crop benefits including improved crop consistency, increased yield and disease resistance. BioLumic has worked with large-scale produce growers and processors in California and Mexico with yield gains of up to 22 percent.
“We actively invest in data-driven technology startups who are changing the paradigm for sustainable AgTech from around the globe, and BioLumic was an ideal fit for us,” said Arama Kukutai, co-founder and partner, Finistere Ventures. “Using UV treatments to complement traditional chemicals or biologicals, BioLumic will give farmers a new way to enhance crop yield and vigor by activating stronger plant characteristics with the power of light.”
