Agricells Growth®: SIVAL Bronze 2026 honors accessible, high-performing biostimulation for field use

The beginning of 2026 marked a turning point for Agricells. After several years of laboratory research, field validations, and initial commercialization, our vision of finally democratizing biostimulation for field crops has been officially recognized by the agricultural sector. At the last SIVAL exhibition (France), our biostimulant Agricells Growth®, received the SIVAL Bronze Award in the "Plant Health, Soils and Growing Media" category.

This award validates our approach: transforming cutting-edge biotechnology expertise into a robust and simple product for farmers' daily use.

A patented proprietary strain, serving the soil

At the heart of our innovation is a specific strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. While this bacterium is naturally present in the soil, our proprietary strain stands out due to its unique genetic profile. Equipped with a particular plasmid, it excels in the solubilization and mineralization of phosphorus making this vital element immediately available to the plant, even under limiting conditions.

But biology alone is not enough: the microorganism must survive. This is where our formulation expertise makes the difference. Thanks to an innovative oil dispersion (OD) formulation, we maintain the bacterium in a stable dormant state, guaranteeing a 24-month shelf life at ambient temperature, with no storage constraints.

Performance proven in the field

At Agricells, we believe in quantifiable proof. Our solution has been tested through more than 100 rigorous trials (over half of which were conducted under GEP - Good Experimental Practices). These international campaigns have demonstrated exceptional repeatability with an average yield increase of 12%, across all crops.

Our product thus secures the crop's potential right from planting, a critical moment when the root system determines the plant's future vigor.

Democratizing biostimulation in field crops

One of the major obstacles to adopting biosolutions often remains the logistical complexity and cost for farmers. Agricells Growth® overcomes these barriers:

• Ease of use: whether as a seed treatment or a soil spray (ultra-concentrated dose of 100 mL/ha - 1.4fl oz/acre), the product can be integrated into standard plant protection product mixtures (always seek advices from your sales representative).
• Profitability: with an affordable cost for end-user, biostimulation finally becomes an economically viable lever for field crops (cereals, corn, rapeseed).

Agricells' mission is to offer concrete levers for the agro-ecological transition. By optimizing nutrient assimilation with our biostimulant Agricells Growth®, we thus help reduce reliance on inputs while strengthening crop resilience to climatic hazards!
