FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything growers ask us — from first bottle to full-scale deployment.

Product What is Primora Bio?
Primora Bio is a water coherencing agent — 80+ ionic sulfated trace minerals extracted from volcanic biotite mica, suspended in purified water. It's 99% purified water and 1% natural ionic mineral salts. You add it to your water, and it transforms how that water interacts with soil, roots, and plants.
Product What's actually in the bottle?
99% purified water and 1% ionic sulfated mineral salts derived from volcanic biotite mica. Over 80 trace minerals including iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, and dozens more — all in ionic (dissolved, plant-available) form. Zero synthetic chemicals. Zero toxic heavy metals, verified by independent ICP-MS testing.
Product Is this just another biostimulant?
No. Most biostimulants add biology or chemistry to the soil. Primora Bio works on the water itself — restoring its coherent structure so that minerals already present in your soil and fertilizer program become more soluble and available. It's a different mechanism entirely, which is why it works even on well-fertilized soils.
Product How is this different from fertilizer?
Fertilizers add specific nutrients (N-P-K). Primora Bio improves the water that delivers those nutrients, making them more available to roots. It also adds 80+ trace minerals that standard fertilizers don't include. You can use it alongside any fertilizer program or on its own.
Product What does 'water coherence' mean?
The phrase describes a practical outcome: water that carries the right mineral composition behaves differently from water that doesn't. Chemists have known for over a century that dissolved mineral ions influence how water's molecular network behaves — some ions tighten that network and support the hydration shells around proteins, enzymes, and soil microbes; others loosen it. Primora Bio is unusually rich in the class of mineral ions that tighten water's behavior, which is why nutrients stay in solution, soil biology is better supported, and the system becomes more efficient. This is well-established mineral chemistry, not a novel claim. It also explains why plants respond better to rain than irrigation: rain that contacts rock carries a mineral architecture that processed irrigation water has lost.
Application How do I use it?
Three methods: (1) Add to irrigation water at ~1:333 dilution (1 quart per 90 gallons), (2) Foliar spray at 1 oz per 2.5 gallons, weekly during growing season, (3) Seed soak for 24–48 hours before planting. Most growers use irrigation as the primary method and supplement with foliar spray.
Application Can I use too much?
No. Primora Bio is a mineral water solution at 2.5% concentration. Over-application has no negative effects — you simply use more product than necessary. Start with the recommended rates and adjust based on your results.
Application Can I mix it with fertilizer or other inputs?
Yes. Primora Bio is compatible with virtually all fertilizers, biological inputs, and soil amendments. It can be tank-mixed directly. The only exception: avoid mixing with highly acidic solutions (pH below 3).
Application Does it work with my irrigation system?
Yes. Compatible with drip, sprinkler, pivot, flood, fertigation, and hydroponic systems. No system modifications or special equipment needed. Just add to your water source at the recommended dilution.
Application Does it work in hydroponic and aquaponic systems?
Yes. Add to your reservoir at ~1:333 dilution. Fully compatible with recirculating, drain-to-waste, NFT, DWC, and ebb-and-flow systems. In aquaponic systems, the ionic minerals are safe for fish.
Application How long does a bottle last?
One 32 fl oz bottle treats approximately 90 gallons of water. For a home garden with weekly watering, that's roughly 3–6 months. For commercial operations, see our bulk pricing page for volume calculations.
Application Do I need to apply every year?
Foliar sprays should continue weekly during the growing season. Soil irrigation has longer-lasting effects — established orchards and vineyards typically need soil application only once every 4–5 years as biology recovers. Costs naturally decline over time.
Results How soon will I see results?
Most growers see visible improvement in plant vigor, canopy health, and leaf color within 2–4 weeks. Yield improvements are measurable at first harvest. Soil biology improvements compound over the first 1–2 seasons.
Results What kind of yield improvement can I expect?
Government field trials showed 17–37% yield increases across rice, strawberries, and tea. Results vary by crop type, soil condition, water quality, and existing management. Most growers see measurable improvement within the first season.
Results Were the field trials controlled studies?
Yes. The Japanese Ministry of Health trials used identical fertilization, soil conditions, and management across control and treated plots. The only variable changed was water treatment with Primora Bio.
Results What about the UN study?
The United Nations documented the restoration of salt-damaged coastal farmland in Korea — land previously declared permanently unrecoverable. This is a different kind of evidence than yield trials: it demonstrates Primora Bio's ability to restore degraded soil, not just improve healthy soil.
Results Can I reduce my existing fertilizer inputs?
Yes, but do it gradually. Start by adding Primora Bio to your current program without changing anything else. After 1–2 seasons, most growers can reduce fertilizer rates 20–40% while maintaining or improving yields.
Results What is the photosynthetic capacity improvement?
Across all crops tested, plants treated with Primora Bio showed 20–40% higher chlorophyll density and photosynthetic efficiency. This is a leading indicator — plants capturing more energy from sunlight grow faster, resist stress better, and ultimately produce higher yields.
Safety Is it safe around kids and pets?
Yes. Primora Bio is 97.5% purified water and 2.5% natural ionic mineral salts from volcanic rock. Zero synthetic chemicals, zero toxic heavy metals — independently verified by ICP-MS testing. It's safer than most products already in your garden shed.
Safety Is it safe for organic farming?
Primora Bio contains zero synthetic chemicals, zero toxic heavy metals, and no GMOs. It is composed entirely of purified water and natural ionic mineral salts. We recommend checking with your specific certifying body as standards vary, but the composition is fully natural.
Safety Is it safe for my vegetable garden?
Yes. Entirely food-safe — only purified water and naturally-derived ionic minerals. No synthetic chemicals, no heavy metals, no residues. Many home gardeners use it specifically on food gardens, herbs, and fruit trees.
Safety Does it have an expiration date?
No. Primora Bio is a mineral solution — it doesn't degrade, expire, or lose potency over time. Store sealed at room temperature. No refrigeration needed. Stable indefinitely.
Ordering How does the cost compare to conventional inputs?
Primora Bio costs $157–$353 per acre per season at recommended rates, compared to $600–$1,500+ for conventional fertilizer programs. Costs decrease further over time as soil biology recovers and input needs decline.
Ordering Do you offer bulk pricing?
Yes. We offer volume pricing starting at 10 gallons with no long-term commitment. Visit our bulk pricing page or select 'Bulk / wholesale inquiry' on our contact form for a custom quote.
Ordering Do you ship internationally?
Currently we ship within the United States. We're working on international distribution — contact us if you're outside the U.S. and we'll do our best to help.
