At Veganic, we have exclusively developed NeoPrime technology, based on decoding the plant alphabet to create products that act as Plant Primers: solutions that prepare the plant by activating its response mechanisms in a specific and efficient way—just like a cosmetic primer prepares the skin.
A recent article published in Science Advances (link here) scientifically demonstrates the foundations of this approach, confirming that plants can communicate with each other and activate their responses through metabolites and biochemical signals.
In this study, researchers analyzed how maize in dense crops emits a volatile compound that triggers responses in neighboring plants and causes changes in the soil and the root microbiome. This mechanism mirrors the very logic on which NeoPrime is based: identifying the biochemical signals that initiate plant responses and applying them to prepare crops against different types of stress.
Key findings of the article connected to NeoPrime
- Biochemical signals as “messages”: plants emit compounds that activate responses in neighboring plants.
- Decoding the plant alphabet: these signals trigger hormonal pathways and specific metabolites, the same logic we apply with NeoPrime in our formulations.
- Rapid and adaptive responses: the reaction occurs in a short time, showing the effectiveness of these natural mechanisms.
- Ecosystem impact: plant-to-plant and plant-to-soil communication generates a protective effect that is sustainable over time, reinforcing resilience against pests.
- Growth–production balance: NeoPrime technology also helps plants increase pollination by enhancing the emission of volatile compounds that attract beneficial fauna, resulting in higher fruit set and productivity.
NeoPrime: science applied to regenerative agriculture
At Veganic we don’t just confirm what science shows: we take it a step further. We have identified the key metabolites that activate these metabolic pathways and integrated them into specific formulations, designed to:
- Prepare the plant (Plant Primer) against biotic stress.
- Boost specific responses with speed and precision.
- Support balanced, biodiverse ecosystems.
NeoPrime in one sentence
NeoPrime is the practical application of cutting-edge science for agriculture that is more conscious, regenerative, and respectful of nature.
