The Plant Nutrition division provides practical, efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions thanks to comprehensive expertise, from soil to leaf to fruit.

Creating and designing the fertilisers and soil improvers of future

An international team of researchers in chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and microbiology, along with research agronomists, work in collaboration with 60 universities and institutes worldwide on a number of projects pertaining to the specific characteristics of our products, and on unique tools in the field of fertilisation. Their work has been the subject of numerous patents and scientific publications.

Our phenotyping greenhouse

A unique facility in privatised fertilisation companies, designed in collaboration with the INRA (France’s National Institute for Agricultural Research), this facility makes it possible to measure the growth or physiological health of plants in a non-destructive way. Sampling pots are automatically conveyed along with precision imagery, facilitating the production of significant quantities of data for even greater replicability and reliability of results.

Growth Chambers

These offer the capacity to assess our products in a multitude of climates. Controlling light intensity, sunlight duration, temperature and hygrometry makes it possible to reproduce all the planet’s natural agro-climatic situations.

Create and design the fertilisers and amendments for the future.
