Modern agriculture faces increasingly complex challenges: climate stress, soil variability, pressure on water resources, and evolving regulatory requirements. In this context, standard solutions rarely address the specific needs of every crop, environment, and production system. 

As a result, agricultural companies are increasingly looking for something different from their suppliers: not only products, but technology partners capable of designing customized solutions. 

At AgroSolutions, this approach lies at the core of our innovation strategy. Our goal is not simply to offer existing products, but to develop solutions tailored to specific agronomic challenges by combining science, technology, and formulation expertise. 

What Companies Look for in a Technology Partner

For R&D teams in the agricultural sector, selecting a technology partner goes far beyond evaluating a product catalog. Companies seek collaborators capable of delivering scientific insight, industrial reliability, and development capabilities.

Key elements they look for include:

Scientific Understanding of Plant Physiology

Developing effective agronomic solutions requires understanding how plants respond physiologically to different stimuli. 

At AgroSolutions, we use advanced analytical tools based on plant-omics technologies to study crop responses at multiple biological levels: 

• Phenomics, using non-destructive imaging techniques such as NDVI, VIS, and NIR 
• Genomics, for genetic sequencing and microbiome analysis 
• Transcriptomics, through RNA sequencing and gene expression analysis 
• Metabolomics, analyzing metabolites in plants and fermentation extracts 
• Targeted physiological analysis, including enzymatic activity and photosynthesis 

This scientific framework helps identify modes of action, select the most effective raw materials, and validate solutions before they advance to agronomic development.

Differentiated Raw Materials

Innovation in agricultural inputs strongly depends on access to unique, high-quality raw materials.

AgroSolutions integrates several functional sources into its formulations:

• fermentation-derived plant extracts
• pure free amino acids
• protein hydrolysates
• functional organic matter
• specialized co-formulants

Ajinomoto’s long-standing expertise in fermentation technology provides a strong foundation for developing differentiated ingredients with targeted physiological properties.

Formulation Expertise

Beyond raw materials, the success of an agricultural solution depends heavily on formulation.

Through the expertise of Tensiofix®, with more than 70 years dedicated exclusively to agro-formulation, AgroSolutions has developed deep knowledge in:

• surfactants and adjuvants
• seed coating systems
• binders and co-formulants
• formulation stability and compatibility

This expertise allows functional ingredients to be transformed into stable, effective agronomic products suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications.

Scientific and Agronomic Validation Systems

Agricultural innovation requires rigorous validation combining fundamental science and field evaluation.

At AgroSolutions, solutions undergo several stages of validation.

Controlled environment testing

Growth chamber trials allow researchers to evaluate product performance under controlled environmental conditions and simulate stress scenarios.

These tests help:

• evaluate efficacy early in development
• generate proof of concept
• accelerate innovation timelines

Field trials

After experimental validation, solutions are tested under real farming conditions through a network of agronomic field trials across different regions and cropping systems.

This ensures that developed solutions deliver consistent performance in practical agricultural environments.

From Concept to Market: Developing Tailor-Made Solutions

Customized solution development follows a structured process combining scientific expertise and industrial capability.

Defining product requirements

The process begins by identifying the customer’s needs:

• product composition
• functional objectives
• agronomic targets
• pricing and market positioning

Formulation design

Based on these requirements, R&D teams develop and evaluate potential formulations.

Validation

Candidate formulations are validated through:

• formulation stability testing
• agronomic trials
• efficacy evaluation

Product documentation

Once the optimal formulation is selected, the technical documentation required for regulatory processes and commercialization is prepared.

Market launch

Finally, the product is produced at industrial scale and integrated into the customer’s supply chain.
