Haivya says acoustic signals increase yields in soybean, pepper and cannabis
Haivya, a biotech startup focused on plant growth modulation, has announced that its proprietary acoustic signal technology has produced significant yield gains in field trials of soybean, pepper, and cannabis crops. According to the company, the acoustic treatments were applied during critical growth stages and resulted in increases ranging from 15 % to 30 % in overall yield, depending on the crop and location of the trial.
The company claims the signals alter plant physiological processes—such as hormone signaling and stomatal conductance—without the use of chemicals or genetic modification. Independent agronomists who observed the trials noted improved plant vigor and fruit set, though they cautioned that larger, multi-season studies are needed to confirm the consistency of the results across diverse environments. Haivya plans to expand its trials to additional crop species and to seek regulatory approval before commercial deployment.
