We like to see ourselves as the doctors of soil and water. Planters, including smallholders, apply our proprietary and patented bio-essential microbial consortia to rejuvenate, restore and regenerate soil health.
What is AGN
AGN is a patented biofertilizer comprised of 4 proprietary species of microbes and humic acid
Supports plant growth
Enhances nutritional metabolism and food value of vegetables
Nonribosomal synthesis of antibiotics, siderophores (iron scavengers) and bacteriocins (toxins that inhibit growth of similar bacteria)
Anaerobic nitrate ammonification using nitrite or nitrate as terminal electron acceptor
Degrades polymers such as protein, starch, and pectin
Important in carbon and nitrogen cycle
Powerful plant hormone producer that enables plants to tolerate salt, heavy metals, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons
Nitrogen fixing bacteria converts nitrogen to ammonia
Rhizobacteria (enhance plant growth after root colonization)
Extracellular enzymes associated with nutrient cycling in plant materials
AGN
AGN® was first developed in 2014 with the goal of restoring soil fertility to improve yield to meet the mismatch between declining food production and a fast-growing global population, and to reduce the over dependence on harmful agrochemicals such as synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and their harmful impact on the ecosystem as well as on the growers who deploy them.
The product is a patented formulation of proprietary and unique microbial consortia mixed with 100% water-soluble humic acid granules to improve soil health and sustainability. This non-GMO advanced biological soil amendment is manufactured under United States Environment Protection Agency (EPA) standards and verified to comply with the USDA National Organic Standards. AGN delivers highly concentrated beneficial microbes and complex humic acid molecules to create a balanced solution for soil application.
How it works
These proprietary microbes grow in the rhizosphere, confer biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to plants induced by systemic resistance, biofilm formation and lipopeptide products. Besides solubilizing phosphorus, AGN is also a biobactericide and biofungicide. The formulation is specific for these isolates to ensure that they complement and not compete.
Benefits
Cisbay’s cutting edge, patented and proven microbial technology boosts food security, uplifts farmer livelihoods, reduces environmental impacts from agriculture and mitigates carbon emissions.
Increased yield
Consistently increases yield by an average of 30 percent over a variety of agricultural crops in different geographies
Cost Savings
Significantly reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides by between 25 to 50 percent while rejuvenating soils, thereby reducing logistics and labour costs
Predictable Input Costs
Reduces exposure to synthetic fertilizer price volatility, offering better financial security
Environmentally Sustainable
Mitigates pollution to groundwater, waterways and harm to aquatic life caused by agrochemical run-off
Reduced GHG Emissions
Reduces GHG emissions by reducing usage of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and transportation
