We use precisely controlled light to switch on the traits a plant already carries. No gene editing. No synthetic chemicals. Just a better start for every seed.
No sprays. No gene editing. Chromavia uses precisely controlled light to switch on the traits a plant already carries. Non-GMO, non-chemical, organic-compatible.
Powerful, but heavily regulated, and off-limits to organic growers.
Changes what the plant is, and comes with GMO restrictions across major markets.
Switches on the traits a plant already carries. Non-GMO, non-chemical, organic-compatible.
One capability: precise delivery of light to the plant, across three stages, each building on the last.
Treated before germination, a seed lot emerges faster and more uniformly and establishes a better stand, with an organic-eligible claim.
Read the plant's state in the field, non-destructively, for a continuous check on how the crop is really doing.
Guide nutrients and secondary metabolites in the final produce, and buffer the plant against abiotic stress.
One light treatment that works with the plant's own biology, lifting a crop where it matters most, with no trade-offs between them.
Faster, more uniform emergence and stronger stands, so more of every seed becomes a productive crop.
Crops better able to shrug off drought, heat and the stresses of the open field.
Improved nutrient uptake for more nutrient-dense produce.
Organic growers are the most under-served. Synthetic chemicals and gene-editing are off the table. Photonic priming delivers a real productivity gain and stays organic-eligible, and it performs best in exactly the tough, open-field conditions organic growers face.
Stays organic-eligible. A productivity tool that works within organic rules, not around them.
Built for hard conditions. It shows its edge where growers need it most, in the open field.
Made for high-value crops. Greenhouse and CEA vegetables, seed herbs and medicinals, where a vigour gain matters most.
An open-field trial under way with Hochschule Geisenheim University in Germany. Our first independent efficacy readout.
