Biological Technology. Proven in the Field.

Advanced microbial inoculants developed and manufactured in New Zealand.

Harnessing beneficial microorganisms to improve nutrient availability, crop performance and soil biological function.

Harnessing Microbiology for Better Crop Performance

AgroBioTechNZ develops and manufactures high-quality microbial inoculants for modern agriculture. Using carefully selected beneficial bacteria, our technologies are designed to improve nutrient availability, support root development and help crops make better use of the resources already available in the soil.

Developed and manufactured in Christchurch, our biological solutions combine microbiology, specialist fermentation and practical field research to deliver technologies designed for real-world farming systems.

Proven Expertise

More than 50 years of combined experience across microbiology, agricultural research, fermentation, manufacturing and commercial agriculture.

We combine scientific expertise with practical understanding of how biological technologies need to perform in the field.

NZ Developed & Manufactured

Our microbial inoculants are developed and manufactured at our specialist fermentation facility in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Local manufacturing gives us control over fermentation, product quality and the development of biological solutions for New Zealand agriculture.

 

Backed by Field Research

We believe biological products should be proven under real farming conditions.

Our technologies have been evaluated across New Zealand cropping systems, including cereals, forage crops, potatoes and vegetables.

Huge Carrot Yield Gains by AgroBiotechNZ BioFertilisers

This field trial evaluated the impact of biological and microbial-based products from AgroBioTechNZ on carrot yield performance. Treatments included AgroAzzo, AgroAmylo, AgroPhos, and AgroComplex, each compared to an untreated Control. All products were applied twice during the early growth stages of the crop. The trial was carried out at Crozier Farm, Leeston, Canterbury and had a randomised bloc

AgroComplex significantly increases Oat Yield

This trial was designed to determine the effectiveness of AgroBiotechNZ product variations, against a control on Oats, at Seaton Farm, West Melton, Canterbury. This replicated field trial showed a statistically signicant increase in yield was achieved by using AgroComplex - 16.9t, over the control - 13.2t.

AgroBiotechNZ BioFertilisers increase Potato Yield

This trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of biostimulant treatments on the yield of Nadine potatoes. The study aimed to assess whether the application of AgroBiotech BioStimulants could improve crop performance compared to a control treatment. The trial was carried out at Crozier Farm, Leeston, Canterbury and included the biostimulant treatments alongside an untreated control.

The Importance of Understanding Soil Microorganism Benefits in Agriculture

As the agricultural industry seeks sustainable agriculture practices to meet global challenges, understanding the role of soil microorganisms has become crucial for success. At AgroBioTechNZ, we are committed to advancing sustainable agriculture by harnessing the power of beneficial microbes to improve crop yield and soil health.
