A Pioneering History
For nearly a century, our scientists have been at the forefront of microbiological research, dedicated to unlocking the potential of nature's tiniest allies for healthier plants and thriving soils.
1931
Microbial Foundation
Our microbiome collection's journey began in 1931 when Professor Alfeds Kalnins initiated a groundbreaking collection of soil microbes.
1946
Collection Transfer
In 1946, the Latvian Microbiology Institute, under the guidance of Professor A. Kirhenstein, continued this vital work, building a vast repository of knowledge that remains unparalleled today.
1993
1st Commercial Success
First commercial products have been produced in 1993 with successful field, trails. Our scientist's dedication to research translates into real-world solutions.
2024
Legacy Continued
To date we have developed 14 unique, microbiome-enriched fertilizers designed to optimize plant health, improve soil fertility, and promote sustainable agriculture.
A single handful of soil contains more microbes than there are people on Earth. This hidden micro-world sustains life on our planet, yet our understanding of it remains limited.

Nurturing Future Innovators
We believe in fostering the next generation of microbiologists. We offer internship opportunities for students, many of whom have successfully defended theses based on our research. This collaboration strengthens our scientific community and drives innovation forward.
