A Biotechnology Company

Industrias Agrobiológicas S.A. was created in 1975 out of the fusion of the ideas of a Spanish scientist – the discoverer of an industrial process for obtaining amino acids by cellular synthesis – and a group of entrepreneurs, under the guise of “neutral technology” and with the formal purpose of transferring the ideas and concepts of traditional biochemistry and biotechnology to all our products, pharmaceuticals and services.

Inagrosa began to market actual solid biological fertilizers by incorporating the indigenous strains of selected microorganisms, these in turn stimulated for their growth with biologically active amino acids together with mineral elements and using a compound of organic materials as a support. The above was then subjected to a controlled fermentation, in purposely-designed fermentation chambers, for 36 hours.
This process generated products with 520 billion microorganisms/grama spectacular result.

The first liquid bio-activator made with the 20 L-amino acids essential for life appears on the market: AMINOL FORTE.
This product will become the all-purpose commodity for our whole range of products and by adding to it phosphorus or potash, new formulations such as FOSNUTREN or KADOSTIM will occur.
Its rapid establishment in the market would later prompt the first regulation in Spain of the sale of amino acid-based products.

The first Inagrosa Convention took place in Valencia in 1984 and it would be the seed for all future conventions at which the company would demonstrate its technology and future projects to the world.
Valencia would be followed by León and the year after by a Balearic cruise where, for the first time, Inagrosa would highlight its projects for Pharmaceuticals and Medicine.
Then came Sevilla which was possibly the best attended of them all. It is worth noting that at all these events Inagrosa was supported by collaborators and guests from numerous universities as well as by national and international research centres.

1988 Inagrosa Commercial. For the first time ever in Spain, Inagrosa staged a TV commercial advertising fertilizers. This was a remarkable achievement at the time as it was aired in prime time during “Un, Dos, Tres Responda Otra Vez” one of the most popular programmes of the day.

The raw material originating the process does not derive from any specific material classified as high risk (MER) or is defined in the decision of the European Commission 2000/418/CE or in the Royal Decree (Real Decreto) 1911/2000 of November 24, 2000 (B.O.E. Saturday, November 25, 2000). This, and the fact that no hydrolisis occurs during the obtaining of amino acids, means that our process is virtually devoid of heavy metals.

IThroughout this first regulation regarding the sales of amino acids, Inagrosa collaborated ver closely with the Ministry of Agriculture providing ample documentation and results. Until then all these products were in a kind of “no man’s land” along with foliar products and correctors etc. Thanks to this regulation, the origin of Inagrosa products was recognised for the first time guaranteeing the consumer much greater clarity when making a final decision as to what to buy.

After numerous experiments with our active material had been carried out at several leading universities, Inagrosa decided to include a new product into its catalogue directed at the fishing and animal livestock industries.
This product, known as AMINOBIOL was incorporated as a “premix”.

Inagrosa received environmental certificates for all its products from the Ministry of the Environment becoming the first ever company to do so. These certificates guarantee the absence of risk for the environment when using our products.

With the birth of the new millenium and to celebrate our 25th anniversary, a corporate video was published showing the assets and equity of the company.

Ecotechnology is attempting to solve the health, economic and ecological problems derived from the huge volumen of bioaccumulative waste generated by human activity: agricultural industry, food industry etc…
The kits supplied by Inagrosa transform any agricultural organic waste (sugar refining...), sludge and manure etc., into high added value biological fertilizers.

Inagrosa creates the Aqua & Garden range for gardening (for both land and aquatic plants).
Also under study is the range for pets (animals and fish).

Prof. George Kvesitadze from the Institute of Plant Biochemistry in Tbilisi, Georgia (one of the greatest scientific teams in the world specializing in plant genome) signed an agreement with Inagrosa covering collaboration and experimentation which continues to the present day.”In 2008, on the occasion of his visit to Spain to take part in an EU funded project at the University of Murcia, Inagrosa dedicated a special tribute to this man”.

In 2010 and as a result of several years of collaboration in R&D with Chinese and US companies into Precision Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence, INAGROSA approves a budget to do trials on fruit and vegetable crops in the area around Cheste (Valencia).
For these experiments, the most advanced drones available between the period 2008-2010 were deployed along with already tested procedures in precision agriculture and a specific module of artificial intelligence which observes the effects of climate change on agriculture. In 2011 and 2012, these tests continued in Spain and Argentina.
Later, from 2013 to 2015 tests began , using state-of-the-art VTR robotic drones, on vast areas of cultivation in Argentina (peanuts), U.S.A. (peanuts and soyabean) and China (peanuts and vegetables) in an effort to regenerate soil using the NATURCARE product and the rest of INAGROSA’s ultra rapid absorption foliar nutrients. The results obtained were such that our Chinese partners reported that: …”INAGROSA biofertilizers and their ultra fast absorption by crops provide the necessary link to achieve maximum efficiency in the highly robotic precision agriculture of the future.”
