Fluence, a provider of LED plant lighting solutions, announced a partnership with BioLumic, a plant growth biotechnology company. It is reported that BioLumic uses ultraviolet light (UV) to sustainably improve plant yield, health, and quality through its Light Signal Recipes. (light signal formulation platform technology).
According to the cooperation agreement, the two parties will cooperate to provide plants with BioLumic’s UV light signal through Fluence’s LED lighting solutions.
According to reports, BioLumic’s patented technology can use ultraviolet photomorphogenesis to trigger biological changes in seeds and seedlings, ultimately significantly optimizing plant performance.
The company’s proven UV Light Signal Recipes? (ultraviolet light signal formulation platform technology) can greatly improve plant yield, and achieve desirable plant traits and vigor, while also activating the plant’s natural resistance to disease and pests.
It is reported that Fluence’s lighting system will provide BioLumic’s dynamic UV light treatment during the reproduction stage of plant production, and through one light treatment, benefits can be generated throughout the plant growth cycle.
Combining solutions from BioLumic and Fluence, growers are able to reap high plant yield gains, increase cannabinoid levels and improve overall plant quality while reducing plant cycle variability.
Fluence and BioLumic will initially collaborate with selected cannabis cultivation partners while industrializing the UV commercial delivery system to enhance Fluence’s end-to-end product offering in 2023.
BioLumic CEO Steve Sibulkin said BioLumic’s Light Signal Recipes? platform technology allows growers to better utilize UV lighting to improve plant growth and gene expression without the need for significant cost or chemicals. Through this cooperation, BioLumic will accelerate the development of the optical signal platform, and Fluence will gain more opportunities to enter the global horticultural market, while strengthening its horticultural lighting product portfolio.
