Priming is a natural adaptive response mechanism that improves the defensive capacity of plants by activating a plant's innate physiological and evolutionary immune defenses to respond to biotic and abiotic stress.
Just as a vaccine can prepare humans to quickly combat a disease, induced priming can elicit a plant's natural combative responses to react to future stress and/or pathogen challenges.
Priming elicitors are compositions of natural key elements, which provide a positive plant stimulatory growth response that benefits agricultural productivity while also supporting sustainable production practices and ag ecosystem regeneration.
Expanding the use of priming elicitors will make commercial agriculture and home gardening more sustainable by enabling plants to reach their natural biological growth potential and by minimizing the need for additional inputs (e.g. excess fertilizer, excess crop protection chemicals, etc.). Our priming products do not harm the soil or any organism (e.g. soil microbes, beneficial insects, etc.) and act only by activating (eliciting) natural plant responses.
Reduces yield loss due to biotic and abiotic stress factors (e.g. disease, pests, drought)
Provides a non-GMO solution to optimize plant productivity in organic production programs
Maximizes plant growth potential on declining arable land base
Enhances crop yields with reduced inputs
Supports sustainable ag production processes
Improves crop ecosystem management through enhancement of natural growth potential
Helps reduce ag production inputs through improved nutrient use efficiency
Our proprietary priming technology platform maximizes plant performance by eliciting (activating) a plant’s natural immunological capabilities and accelerating development processes such as plant metabolism, nutrient absorption, and development of defense genes.
In addition to enabling plants to achieve greater yield and quality, the use of our plant priming technology has demonstrated both preventative and curative response to certain plant diseases.
The mechanism of action (priming) that defines our technology and subsequent elicitor compositions and formulations allows us to directly impact crop yields and sustainable farming practices.
Our solutions help combat an increasing number of production agriculture challenges around the world. Challenges such as yield robbing diseases, drought stress, declining arable land base, insect pressure, and overreliance on increased levels of crop protection and fertilizer inputs presents us with a unique opportunity to become a market leader in the quest for sustainable agricultural technologies that will advance our food supply and improve farming productivity.
We are in the process of advancing the development of new product compositions and formulations, and analytical tools to guide differential application rates and timing. With proper application and timing, we are observing that through enhanced plant vigor and bio-availability response, the plant unlocks natural growth potential (yield/quality) and resists certain diseases, With proper application and timing, we are observing that through enhanced plant vigor and bio-availability response, the plant unlocks natural growth potential (yield/quality) and resists certain diseases, with the potential for reduced rates of crop protection and fertilizer inputs. Because we don’t act directly against the disease vector, regulatory timelines are quite manageable with resulting favorable time to market for new product compositions and formulations.
One important example of a new product that has resulted from our recent research is the development of a dry formulation that is suitable for seed treatment applications. Early testing indicates that this product is highly effective when applied as a seed treatment, enabling expanded potential for broad acre applications in a variety of row crops.

Multi-year replicated field trials and validations completed on a wide variety of crops, climates and soil conditions worldwide have consistently demonstrated the enhanced value (ROI) and efficacy of using BAM-FX as part of a grower’s standard program. Higher profit margins are achievable through increased yield and crop value, the ability to salvage crops that would otherwise have to be destroyed, and the potential savings from rate reduction in other crop protection inputs.
Observed results and independent lab analyses from multi-season field trials worldwide on a large variety of crops worldwide have consistently demonstrated:
Root development and uptake efficiency
Plant vigor and growth response
Crop yield and fruit size/grade improvement
Seed germination rate and seedling establishment
Observed disease mitigation (preventative and curative responses)
Soil microbiome health
