Our Team's Legacy of Microbiological Innovation
Research that Makes a Difference
Our commitment to research and development has resulted in numerous scientific publications, showcasing our groundbreaking discoveries in the field of microbiome soil fertilizers. Our work is not just theoretical – we regularly share our knowledge through practical field training sessions with farmers and gardeners across all the Europe.
Professionals and Scientists Only
Our team of scientists and researchers boasts a wealth of experience and knowledge. Our lead scientist was recently honored with a nomination for scientific publications at Riga Technical University's 150th anniversary, and collectively, our team has authored over 100 scientific publications.

LEADING RESEARCHER
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.
Jānis Keterliņš, CEO
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.
