Leap in Innovation: One company is using light to manage seeds!

A U.S.-based biotech company is using light to manage seeds. They call it a leap in innovation, and say it can reduce costs by up to 90 percent.

The BioLumic Traituses UV light to regulate genetic expression, and it is done without genetic modification. The company says it boosts resilience while doing away with the hurdles of GM traits.

During tests on more than 6,000 plots, they found a 20 percent yield gain, an extra six bushels per acre, and increased establishment traits like germination.
