Agricen Sciences is an applied sciences research company leading the discovery and development of novel microbial and biochemical solutions for plant nutrition and health. Our cutting-edge research on plant and soil microbe interactions provides insights that allow us to develop innovative solutions addressing the production and sustainability challenges facing modern agriculture and related industries.
Changing the Future of Agriculture
At Agricen Sciences, our dedicated team of multidisciplinary scientists is discovering and developing new biostimulant and biological solutions to support and enhance agricultural practices worldwide.
With our unique platforms and highly specialized R&D capabilities, we are driving the next wave of biological and biostimulant technologies. Our current focus areas include solutions centered on soil health, nutrient efficiency, crop stress, crop quality and environmental and economic sustainability.
From investigating the biochemical pathways and mechanisms that influence the soil-plant system to seeking a more advanced understanding of the effects that novel biological and biostimulant agents have on plant performance, our goal is to apply our science for the benefit of growers and partners worldwide with low-input, environmentally friendly technologies that benefit plant and soil health while improving sustainability. Our technologies are designed to advance agriculture while easily fitting into current grower standard practices and offering excellent shelf stability, ease of formulation and a positive return on investment.
A History of Breaking New Ground
The Agricen Sciences campus is located in Pilot Point, Texas, on the same property where, in the late 1950s, a farmer named Bob Pedigo pioneered the technology concept and developed products with applications in plant nutrition and soil and water remediation. In 1998, Mr. Pedigo licensed his processes, formulations and worldwide commercial rights to Advanced Microbial Solutions (now our sister company, Agricen). Agricen Sciences was established as a dedicated science and research entity in 2012, after spinning off from Agricen.
Agricen and Agricen Sciences have significantly advanced and expanded upon the original licensed technology to generate multiple novel and patent-protected processes and technologies.
Agricen Sciences has broken new ground in the field of agricultural biologicals and biostimulants by discovering new utilities for microbes, developing new manufacturing methods, pioneering new biological platforms, and formulating dozens of new products and ingredients for market. This work has led us to have (as of 2025) 13 patent families with allowed claims in the US and worldwide.
Today, we work closely with our sister company Agricen and other partners to deliver practical plant nutrition applications to growers based on our robust R & D program and cutting-edge biological technology platforms.
