Our team's contribution
Research that makes a difference
Our research and development activities have resulted in numerous scientific publications demonstrating our ground-breaking discoveries in the field of microbial soil fertilisers. Our work is not just theoretical - we regularly share our knowledge in practical field training with farmers and gardeners across Europe.
Professionals and scientists
Our team of experienced scientists and staff are unlocking the power of micro-organisms to make soil more fertile and productive. Working with farmers and gardeners, we provide professional support and develop innovative microbial fertilisers that help achieve sustainable and high quality results.
He holds Master's degree in Management Sciences with additional studies in Microbiology at the University of Latvia and at the Latvia University of Agriculture
In his free time, Jānis enjoys gardening and orienteering.
His flower of choice is the rose, the European beech (Fagus sylvatica) stands tall in his heart, carrots are his go-to crunch, and sweet pears are his top pick among fruits

Daira Kilupe
OPERATIONS CONTROL MANAGER
Agne is our Leading Researcher since 2022
She holds a Master's degree and is pursuing a PhD in Natural Sciences (Biology).
Her work focuses on microorganisms that promote plant growth, while her academic research also explores tick-borne pathogens and their interactions within the microbiome.
She enjoys reading and walking in forests. Among her favourite flowers are freesias, and she loves apples and raspberries.

Innovative history
For almost a century, our scientists have been at the forefront of microbiological research to discover the great potential of micro-organisms for strong plants, fertile soils and abundant crops.
1931
Collection of micro-organisms
The journey of our collection of micro-organisms began in 1931. In 2007, Professor Alfred Kalniņš started collecting soil microorganisms.
1946
Collection transfer
1946. In 2007, the Latvian Institute of Microbiology, under the leadership of Professor A. Kirhenšteins, continued this vital work, building a vast repository of knowledge unparalleled to date.
1993
Commercial success
The first commercial products are produced in 1993. In 2010, they are proving themselves in successful field trials. Our scientists' dedication to research translates into real solutions.
2024
Continuation of inheritance
To date, we have developed 24 unique, micro-organism-enriched fertilisers designed to optimise plant health, improve soil fertility and promote sustainable agriculture.
There are more micro-organisms in one handful of soil than there are people on Earth. This hidden microworld sustains life on our planet, but our understanding of it is still limited.

Nurturing Future Innovators
We are actively involved in research and innovation projects with universities, scientists and farmers to create new knowledge and solutions for sustainable development. Our projects give students the chance to do research and gain practical experience. Working with our team, they can defend their theses and become part of the scientific community shaping the future.
