The Data Speaks For Itself
A look at how Primora Bio has performed in field trials. UN studies and Korean studies.
What the trials measured.
Rice
Japanese Ministry
+31%
▾
Government-controlled rice yield trials measured treated and untreated plots side by side with identical fertilization programs. Treated plots received ionic mineral water through standard irrigation. The only variable changed was water treatment — rice grain yield increased from 480 kg to 600–630 kg per 10-are plot.
Strawberries
Japanese Ministry
+37%
▾
Strawberry production showed the largest yield gains of any crop in the Japanese Ministry trials. Treated plots produced substantially more marketable fruit alongside improvements in size consistency and post-harvest shelf life — consistent with improved late-season mineral retention and photosynthetic efficiency.
Tea
Japanese Ministry
+20–30%
▾
Tea is particularly sensitive to water quality and mineral availability — making it a strong indicator crop for water coherence effects. Treated plantations showed measurable increases in both leaf production volume and quality metrics. Results fell consistently in the 20–30% improvement range across multiple trial seasons.
Cannabis — Mold & Fungal Pressure
Greenhouse Study
–85%
▾
In a controlled greenhouse cannabis study evaluating Drops of Balance ionic mineral water, mold incidence dropped from approximately 66% of control plants to approximately 10% of treated plants — an 85% relative reduction in fungal infection rates. No antifungal or fungicidal compounds were used in either group. The reduction is attributed to improved plant surface microenvironment and enhanced physiological resilience driven by optimized mineral and water dynamics. The same study also documented 50–85% lower detectable pesticide residues (Myclobutanil / Eagle 20), +50% THC, and 50–75% higher terpene production in soil-pretreated plants.
Buckwheat — Mineral Density
Nutritional Study
+58%
▾
A controlled study evaluating Themarox-derived mineral solution effects on buckwheat measured trace mineral incorporation into crop tissue alongside macronutrient composition. Treated plants showed dramatically higher mineral uptake compared to controls. Critically, protein, fat, and fiber were unchanged — confirming the effect was specifically on mineral incorporation rather than general growth stimulation. Treated crops were more nutritionally mineral-dense, not simply larger.
Photosynthetic Capacity
Cross-crop metric
+20–40%
▾
Photosynthetic capacity — measured by chlorophyll density and photosynthetic rate indices — increased 20–40% across every crop type measured in the trials. Plants capturing more energy from the same sunlight have more metabolic resources for yield, stress resistance, secondary metabolite production, and late-season nutrient retention. The effect was independently confirmed by Dr. K. Ilangovan's controlled seed-soak study across wheat, rice, cowpea, and broadbean, where 20–40% photosynthetic gains appeared just 6–10 days post-germination at optimal ionic mineral concentrations of 200–500 ppm.
Systematic Synthesis of Themarox Solution Studies: Six Independent Studies, One Consistent Direction
Across six independent studies spanning controlled greenhouse trials, government field trials, laboratory assays, and international agronomic investigations, a consistent pattern emerges: Themarox-derived mineralized solutions do not behave like conventional fertilizers or pesticides. Instead, they appear to act as broad-spectrum physiological enhancers — improving plant metabolic efficiency, stress resilience, and contaminant handling across multiple biological endpoints simultaneously.
The most striking feature of the combined evidence is not any single dramatic effect, but the convergence of direction across otherwise unrelated outcomes. Germination vigor, photosynthetic activity, biomass accumulation, terpene and secondary metabolite production, antioxidant capacity, mold resistance, and pesticide residue levels all shifted favorably under treatment. Such coordinated changes are not typical of single-nutrient supplementation, which produces pathway-specific responses. The pattern instead suggests upstream modulation of the plant's physiological environment, improving how plants use available resources, rather than simply increasing resource supply.

Energy capture and growth efficiency improvements appeared across every study that measured them. The photosynthetic activity study documented 20–40% increases in chlorophyll-linked energy capture at very low mineral concentrations, consistent with improved metabolic efficiency rather than fertilizer-like nutrient loading. The Japanese Ministry trials confirmed 20–40% photosynthetic improvement alongside 25–37% yield gains across four unrelated crop types. Plants became more efficient at using available inputs, not simply better supplied with them.
Secondary metabolite findings reinforce the upstream mechanism interpretation. Terpene production and cannabinoid content increased substantially in treated cannabis plants. Secondary metabolites such as terpenes are energetically costly to produce and are typically elevated only when overall physiological energy balance is favorable. Their increase signals enhanced metabolic surplus and improved stress-buffering capacity, not direct stimulation of a single biosynthetic pathway. Three to four entirely new terpene species emerged in treated plants that were absent from controls entirely, a marker of improved biochemical complexity rather than simple amplification.
The coordinated improvements across growth efficiency, photosynthesis, antioxidant capacity, pathogen resilience, and pesticide accumulation suggest an upstream effect on how plants manage energy, stress, and environmental exposure — not feeding plants more, but enabling them to function better within the resources and stresses they already face.
Among all findings, the most agriculturally consequential may be the demonstrated reduction in pesticide residue accumulation within plant tissues despite identical exposure conditions. The consistent decrease in pesticide burden across multiple trials indicates that treated plants either absorbed less contaminant, metabolized it more efficiently, or compartmentalized it differently than untreated controls. Combined with the ~85% mold incidence reduction in the cannabis study, achieved without antifungal compounds, the synthesis supports a mechanism operating on plant resilience at the systems level, not targeted chemical suppression.
The UN Korea Reclamation study extended this picture to the ecosystem level. Insect species diversity and density were 1.2× higher in treated zones, the opposite effect of what conventional agrochemical inputs produce. Soil microbial diversity improved. Water quality across all monitored parameters was maintained. The intervention improved the land without degrading the surrounding environment, suggesting that the mechanism operates not just within plant physiology but across the soil–water–root interface more broadly.
The yield numbers start here.
Before you see yield numbers, something more fundamental has to change. The plant has to capture more energy from sunlight. That's photosynthetic capacity, and it's the single best leading indicator of crop performance.
Across every crop tested in the Japanese Ministry trials, plants treated with Primora Bio showed 20–40% higher chlorophyll density and photosynthetic efficiency. This wasn't a result of adding nutrients to the soil. It was a result of improving how water delivered existing nutrients to the plant.
Higher photosynthetic capacity means more energy production, faster growth, better stress tolerance, and, ultimately, the yield increases documented on this page.

What is Primora Bio?
Primora Bio is a water coherencing agent — a liquid concentrate of 80+ ionic sulfated minerals extracted from volcanic biotite mica. When added to irrigation water, it restores the water's ability to keep minerals soluble, support soil biology, and deliver nutrients to plants efficiently. It's not a fertilizer — it makes your existing soil and water work better.
Is it safe for organic farming?
Yes. Primora Bio contains only purified water (99%) and natural ionic sulfated mineral salts (1%). There are zero synthetic chemicals, zero toxic heavy metals (confirmed by independent ICP-MS testing), and nothing that would disqualify it from organic or regenerative programs.
How do I apply it?
Mix 4 mL per gallon of water (approximately 1 oz per 2.5 gallons) and apply as a foliar spray or soil irrigation once per week during the growing season. It's compatible with all existing irrigation and sprayer systems — no special equipment needed.
How quickly will I see results?
Most growers report visible improvements in plant vigor, root development, and color within the first 2–4 weeks of consistent application. Yield data from field trials typically reflects a full growing season of use. Soil health improvements compound over time.
Can I use it with my existing fertilizer program?
Absolutely. Primora Bio works alongside your current inputs — it doesn't replace them, it makes them more effective by improving mineral solubility and nutrient transport. Many growers find they can gradually reduce fertilizer rates over time as soil biology recovers.
