Agronova Biotech

What Agronova Biotech does

Agronova Biotech, S.L. is a Spanish agricultural biotechnology company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Molina de Segura, Murcia. The company develops and commercializes biological crop solutions across three product lines: biocontrol agents (microbial fungicides, organic copper complexes, chitosan-based elicitors, and Bacillus thuringiensis-based insecticides), biofertilizers (PGPR bacterial consortia for soil revitalization and nutrient efficiency), and biostimulants (phenological and stress-resistance products derived from proprietary microalgae and microbial strains). The technical foundation rests on INomics™, a proprietary microbial production technology that cultivates microalgae and microbial strains under controlled extreme conditions to induce synthesis of bioactive compounds, supported by precision fermentation capabilities and a library of 230+ proprietary strains including Bacillus siamensis PB12, Bacillus halotolerans PB13, Azospirillum brasilense M3, Pantoea dispersa C3, and Spirulina AGNOVA-001, all deposited at the CECT culture collection.

The company operates six biotechnology production plants with 80,000 m² of production area, 60,000 m² of microalgae cultivation, and 75 million liters/year of fermentation capacity, sustaining continuous R&D investment equivalent to 3.2% of activity. Products comply with European Biostimulant Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, and Spirunol additionally carries UNE 142500 organic farming certification. Distribution spans more than 50 countries across Iberia, Europe, America, and MEA, supported by regional websites in Spain, Portugal, USA, Mexico, and Global markets.

Agronova generates revenue through direct technical sales and agricultural distributor partnerships, with field recommendations delivered via a consultative model that tailors protocols to crop type, growth stage, and local agronomic conditions, supported by a digital platform for trial digitization and recommendation optimization. In January 2026 the company expanded its platform by integrating Portuguese agricultural biotechnology company Asfertglobal, broadening industrial, commercial, and geographic footprint across the Iberian Peninsula and beyond.

Core offering

Agronova Biotech develops, manufactures, and sells biological crop solutions — including biocontrol agents, biofertilizers, and biostimulants — produced from proprietary microbial strains and microalgae using its INomics™ platform. Products are commercialized to professional growers and agricultural distributors in 50+ countries, supported by personalized technical advisory services and a digital platform for trial digitization and product recommendations.

Product overview

Agronova Biotech offers a portfolio of three product lines (Biocontrol, Biofertilizers, Biostimulants) supported by proprietary INomics technology. The Biostimulant line includes Spirunol (phenological biostimulant from proprietary Spirulina microalgae strain), Eckosil (orthosilicic acid solution), Peptiva F and Peptiva Rhyzo (both based on Bacillus strains). The Biofertilizer line comprises Bulhnova, Bioprón, and Kiplant AllGrip (all featuring PGPR bacteria). The Biocontrol line includes Botrybel (microbial fungicide), Cuperdem (organic copper complex), Kiplant VS-04 (chitosan-based elicitor), and Belthirul (Bacillus thuringiensis-based insecticide). Products are designed for professional growers across woody, horticultural, and broadacre crops.

Functional benefit

Brands

• INomics™: Proprietary microbial production technology that cultivates microalgae and microbial strains under controlled extreme conditions to generate high-impact bioactive ingredients for agronomic solutions.

Products and services

• Spirunol Phenological biostimulant derived from proprietary Spirulina microalgae strain AGNOVA-001 that optimizes flowering and fruit set, contains 9% free amino acids, improves floral functionality, and reduces fruit drop. Authorized for organic farming under UNE 142500 standard. For professional growers of woody, horticultural, and broadacre crops.
• Bulhnova Synergistic combination of two PGPR growth-promoting bacteria (Azospirillum brasilense M3 and Pantoea dispersa strain C3) that revitalizes soil, improves nutrient availability, and balances beneficial microbiota to boost crop yield. Available in liquid and soluble powder formula.
• Bioprón Granulated slow-release root biofertilizer formulated with Azospirillum brasilense strain M3 and Pantoea dispersa strain C3 that improves crop nutrient-use efficiency. Especially used in rainfed crops such as cereals, olive groves, and almond trees.
• Kiplant AllGrip Biofertilizer composed of a bacterial consortium belonging to Bacillus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. genera (Bacillus megaterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida) that promotes production homogenization and increases organoleptic quality of fruits.
• Eckosil Orthosilicic Acid solution with rapid foliar and root absorption featuring systemic distribution. Provides two modes of action: regulating nutrient and water uptake (anti-water stress effect) and protecting plants against abiotic stresses such as high/low temperatures and drought.
• Peptiva Rhyzo Fully soluble powder biostimulant for root application via fertigation, composed of Bacillus siamensis strain PB12 and Bacillus halotolerans strain PB13. Designed to favor and balance soil microbiological activity in the rhizosphere with biostimulation effects on crops, optimizing root development and improving soil functionality in demanding agronomic conditions.
• Peptiva F Biostimulant with Bacillus siamensis strain PB12 that acts through rapid colonization on leaves, flowers and fruits, generating bioactive metabolites that balance plant physiology. Contributes to plant strength and increases quality and post-harvest life of fruits.
• Botrybel Highly effective microbial fungicide for foliar application that preventively controls fungal diseases such as Monilinia, Botrytis and Stemphylium. Contains Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AH2 and acts through different modes of action without leaving residues.
• Cuperdem Organic copper complex solution for foliar and root application with high wash-off persistence. Reduces copper ion application and prevents harmful accumulation in soils. Acts on photosynthesis, respiration and phytoalexin production to ensure plant resistance to certain pathogens.
• Kiplant VS-04 Broad-spectrum elicitor with biofungicidal and bactericidal action containing 3.0% chitosan hydrochloride. Stimulates key enzymatic reactions and optimizes plant development. Increases PR protein concentration with antibiotic activity capable of degrading pathogen cell wall components.
• Belthirul Biological insecticide of microbial origin, selective for lepidoptera, acting by ingestion. Contains Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (strain PB-54) with high insecticidal power due to Cry and Vip crystal diversity and concentration. Includes UV protectors for enhanced persistence.
