Fluence and BioLumic enter into a partnership to provide UV LED lighting treatment for plant cultivation

On July 14, 2022, Fluence, a provider of LED plant lighting solutions, announced a cooperation 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 Recipe Platform Technology).

According to the cooperation agreement, the two parties will cooperate to provide BioLumic's ultraviolet light signals to plants through Fluence's LED lighting solutions.

According to reports, BioLumic's patented technology can use ultraviolet light morphogenesis to trigger biological changes in seeds and seedlings, ultimately significantly optimizing plant performance.

The company's proven UV Light Signal Recipes™ (UV Light Signal Recipe Platform Technology) can significantly increase plant yields 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. Through one light treatment, benefits can be produced throughout the entire plant growth cycle.

Combining BioLumic and Fluence's solutions, growers can achieve high plant yield benefits, increase cannabinoid levels and improve overall plant quality while reducing plant periodic variability.

Fluence and BioLumic will initially work with selected cannabis cultivation partners while industrializing UV commercial delivery systems to enhance Fluence’s end-to-end product offerings 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 costs or chemicals. Through this cooperation, BioLumic will accelerate the development of optical signal platforms, and Fluence will gain more opportunities to enter the global horticultural market while strengthening its horticultural lighting product portfolio.
