SAN Agrow is the crop protection business unit of SAN Group. It was founded by joining forces of Westbridge Agricultural Products Inc. in the USA, and bio-ferm GmbH in Austria. SAN Agrow contributes to sustainable agriculture by providing biotechnological crop protection (biopesticides, biofungicides, bioherbicides), nutrients, and plant growth regulators. With products based on microorganisms or plant extracts, we are contributing to more sustainable agriculture. Through strong in-house R+D, we gain new insights in the areas of microbial biocontrol agents, microbial fermentations, plant extracts, biostimulants, as well as plant nutrition, and thus develop new products contributing to sustainable organic and conventional crop farming.
