What Agrométodos does

Agrométodos, S.A. is a privately held Spanish agricultural inputs company founded in 1986 in Madrid by agronomist Víctor Frías and biologist Carmen Martínez. The company designs, formulates and distributes natural-origin products for plant nutrition and crop protection, organized into categories including biostimulants (BIOHIDRAMAR®), biorregulators (BROTOMAX®, AM·EN®, AM·CLAJE®, BIOHIDRAMAR® CUAJE), biodefenders (MUROCEL®), soil conditioners and desalinizers (AMRACK®, AGROMET 15®, CORRIZ·AM®, NEGRITVM®), specialty products (AM·RICE®, NUTRACÉUTICO®), pH regulators (RANGO 6,6®, TAMPÓN·AM®), the SISTEMA LANZADERA® nanoparticle-based nutrient delivery platform (with variants for Zn/Mn/Mg, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mn and K), and surfactants (QUASSAR®). The underlying technology centers on plant extracts, bioactive compounds and proprietary delivery systems, including the BIOHIDRAMAR® cold extraction process for Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed and the LANZADERA® nanoparticle encapsulation technology launched in 2003. Products are authorized under UNE 142500 and certified by CAAE for organic and biodynamic farming.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market, with direct customer contact via phone, email and website forms, complemented by personalized technical advisory to farmers and agricultural professionals, participation in industry trade fairs such as Fruit Attraction (stand 6D16, 2026 edition), and content marketing through its website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube channels. Distribution is primarily direct-to-grower within Spain, with a Valencia warehouse/lab opened in 2016 and inaugurated as a distribution hub in 2022. The company entered the international market in 2019 and opened a wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary in 2025. Agrométodos generates revenue primarily through product sales of biofertilizers, biostimulants, biorregulators and crop protection inputs to agricultural producers and certified organic/sustainable farming operations; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, has continuously maintained Pyme Innovadora status since 2018 (renewed through 2029), and holds the presidency of AEFISA (Spanish Association of Phytosanitaries and Environmental Health) since 2013.

Products and services

• BROTOMAX® Natural biorregulator that induces the plant's own defense substances, antioxidants and regenerative compounds. Potentiates the shikimic acid cycle and synthesis of polyphenols, with systemic ascending and descending action. Used on multiple crops for residue-free defense activation.
• SISTEMA LANZADERA® Proprietary nanoparticle-based nutrient delivery platform that uses negatively charged nanoparticles to encapsulate cations (nutrients), protecting them from undesirable reactions in the growing medium. Allows dual application via foliar spray or irrigation with equal efficacy, and underpins several corrector products in the LANZADERA® line.
• LANZADERA® 3 Corrector of zinc, manganese and magnesium deficiencies formulated with Sistema Lanzadera® technology, which protects the cations from undesirable reactions and increases absorption speed.
• LANZADERA® Calcio Calcium deficiency corrector formulated with Sistema Lanzadera® that increases bound calcium in fruits, related to shelf life and prevention of disorders such as cracking, Tip Burn and Bitter Pit.
• LANZADERA® Cobre Copper micronutrient product using Sistema Lanzadera® technology to ensure greater speed of absorption and penetration in the plant, with rapid translocation and protection of the copper cation from undesirable reactions.
• LANZADERA® Green Activator of chlorophyll function formulated with Sistema Lanzadera® to prevent or correct deficiencies of iron, manganese and zinc.
• LANZADERA® Manganeso Next-generation manganese deficiency corrector with greater speed of absorption and penetration, using Sistema Lanzadera® to protect the manganese cation and enable rapid translocation.
• LANZADERA® Potasio Potassium deficiency corrector formulated with Sistema Lanzadera® that effectively delivers potassium to the plant's highest-demand organs. Increases fruit caliber and firmness and is involved in hydric regulation.
• MUROCEL® Nitrogen-free calcium silicate suspension that delivers easily assimilated monosilicic acid and calcium to plants, improving the structural and resistance function of plant tissues against pre- and post-harvest damage and enhancing crop quality and fruit shelf life. Authorized for organic and biodynamic farming under UNE 142500 (CAAE certified).
• BIOHIDRAMAR® Crema 100% Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed cream produced via an exclusive cold extraction and stabilization process that preserves phytohormones, polysaccharides and vitamins. Stimulates vegetative growth and prepares the plant for flowering, fertilization and fruit set. Authorized for organic farming (CAAE).
• AM·CLAJE® Natural biorregulator that acts on ethylene biosynthesis, delaying senescence, increasing fruit adhesion and keeping fruit on the tree longer.
• AM·EN® Regulates physiological drop and fruit set after fruit setting, achieving greater uniformity of size and quality (firmness, sugars, color, maturity index) without slowing vegetative development.
• BIOHIDRAMAR® Cuaje Fruit-setting enhancer providing micronutrients that favor protein synthesis, cell division and translocation of photoassimilates toward the ovaries ('Sink Effect').
• AMRACK® Polymaleic acid (33%) product for soil salinity management. Reacts with sodium to form unavailable sodium maleate and replaces sodium with calcium and magnesium in the cation exchange complex, improving soil structure.
• AGROMET 15® Humic and fulvic acid product (pH ≥ 11) obtained from leonardite processing, recommended to improve soil structure, fertility and water retention capacity.
• CORRIZ·AM® Natural rooting agent that promotes rapid root multiplication and elongation. Improves plant anchorage, increases mycorrhization rate and enhances enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere.
• NEGRITVM® Liquid organic fertilizer of plant origin with high organic matter and fulvic acid content that improves the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil.
• AM·RICE® Biorational soluble liquid concentrate specifically designed for rice cultivation, with natural compounds and biodegradable adjuvants complemented with boron to correct deficiencies of this essential micronutrient.
• NUTRACÉUTICO® Boron-based suspension with natural compounds and adjuvants that, on contact with the foliar surface, forms a protective biodegradable film with surface drying effect.
• RANGO 6,6® Potassium solution with buffering action to regulate the pH of treatment mixtures, lowering or raising pH as needed and helping prevent nozzle or dripper clogging.
• TAMPÓN·AM® Preparation based on soluble salts that acts as a pH regulator for application mixtures, maintaining pH between 6 and 7 where the effectiveness of treatment mixtures is maximum.
• QUASSAR® Natural surfactant based on plant-derived compounds with powerful tensioactive, wetting, adherent and penetrating effects, improving the effectiveness of treatment mixtures. A natural alternative to mineral oils.
