Plant Health Technology Platforms
Agricen’s plant health technology platforms are used to create customized, scalable solutions to improve plant health, quality and productivity.
Harnessing the Power of Microbes
Agricen's cutting-edge technology platforms are based on our patented biological conversion processes that yield highly active microbial metabolites and other compounds proven to enhance soil and plant function. Using our bioconversion systems to harness the power of microbes and their byproducts, we build targeted, customized and scalable solutions for our partners, offering them naturally derived end products with superior functionality, handling and compatibility characteristics. Platforms can be used alone or combined in a variety of ways to address desired functionalities, including improvement of nutrient efficiency, mitigation of abiotic and biotic stress and enhancement of crop and food quality.
Technology Platforms
Carbon-based technology (CBT) utilizes biological conversion of leonardite, a carbon source, to provide a suite of highly bioactive microbial metabolites and biochemicals that accelerate the benefits of humic and other organic acid benefits in the plant/soil system, including increased carbon fixation, photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and nutrient utilization. Full biological conversion ensures a highly homogeneous and soluble end product for superior handling and compatibility.
Marine-based technology (MBT) utilizes biological conversion of kelp to deliver superior tolerance to abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought and salinity, while also improving plant growth, quality and productivity. Full biological conversion ensures a highly homogeneous and soluble end product for superior handling and compatibility. The MBT end product is OMRI listed and a WSDA Organic Registered Input Material.
Nutrient release technology (NRT) is our cornerstone biological technology platform, designed to improve the availability and uptake of a broad range of nutrients from organic and inorganic nutrient applications, crop residues and the soil. Whether used with fertilizers, sprayed on plant residues, or applied directly to the soil, products formulated with NRT help to increase nutrient use efficiency, enhance root growth and development, and improve plant performance.
Phosphorus-based technology (PBT) is designed to improve phosphate utilization for benefits including increased phosphate use efficiency and enhanced plant growth and development. PBT utilizes a specialized biological community rich in phosphate solubilizers and delivers a diverse group of functional secondary metabolites that provide enhanced phosphorus uptake and utilization while also promoting plant growth.
Nitrogen efficiency technology (NET) is a biological technology platform with a triple mode of action designed to increase nitrogen use efficiency by providing proprietary nitrogen-fixing bacteria, recruitment of soil nitrogen fixers to associate with plant roots and increased mineralization and utilization of organic nitrogen pools.
Micronutrient efficiency technology (MET) is a biological technology platform enriched for increased availability, uptake and utilization of micronutrients from the soil and applied insoluble micronutrient sources to promote enhanced nutrient use efficiency and improved plant performance.
